An experienced programmer would try printing out the values of
variables to see what they contain.
Did you even try:
print $t;
??

And a simple print would have shown that there were no angle

In my followup to you.
You snipped it:

I quoted it for a reason.
That reason being, it was the code that you needed to see in order
to figure out what you did wrong.
new_from_content wants HTML as it arg. You gave it an URL as its arg.
An URL is not HTML.

No. I thought I was really explicit here. Didn't I define $t?

Well you should have.
Experienced programmers insert debugging statements when
their programs do not work as expected.
Try emulating them.
> I thought I was really explicit here. Didn't I define $t?
Yes, you defined $t to be the string "http://www.lomas-assault.net".
But that is not HTML, which is what new_from_content() wants to be passed.
Do you understand the difference between a URL and the content
that is at that URL?
Do you understand the difference between a house address and the
contents of the house?
new_from_content wants content, so don't give it a URL, give it content.

Adobe offers the PDF manual for download.
Or the postscript manual will give much of the same information
(as far as the imaging model is concerned).
Apropos FYI, the unit is just shy of a "standard" printer's
point (72.27). So a 10pt font from a laserprinter is ever-so-
slightly smaller than the 10pt letterpress fontface in your
old Moby Dick.
