This module provides an interface to the gsapi functions of GNU Gostscript.
You normally won't need this module, it's far easier to pipe to gs under Unix.
You need libgs - which is normally available under most Linux Distributions as ghostscript-devel or equivalent - and the ghostscript header files, see INSTALL.
You normally want to use the tie-method, here an example:
my $output;
{ local *FH;
tie *FH, "GSAPI", stdout => sub { $output .= $_[0]; length $_[0]}; print FH "12345679 9 mul pstack quit\n"; }
ok($output =~ /111111111/);
