Thanks, Ben. Yes, wrapping is hard. All I've ever done is placing fixed sized objects on a PDF, and since the main requirement has been uniform appearance of the PDF, PDF::API2 has worked out real well for me.
I am very fond of LaTeX and am known locally as an evangelist of LaTeX, but I like things real simple, and using the suggested alternatives (not by you) such as printing to RTF or DOCX and so on cost much more than the benefit.
As much as I hate to, I'm going to tell my user that he has to modify his layout to accommodate my inability to wrap his text. Fortunately and unusually, he is tech savvy and understands why, so it won't be a problem.
Thank God for understanding users, CC.

7.6.6. LIST NEWSGROUPS
This keyword MUST be supported by servers advertising the READER
capability.
The newsgroups list is maintained by NNTP servers to contain the
name
of each newsgroup that is available on the server and a short
description about the purpose of the group. Each line of this list
consists of two fields separated from each other by one or more
space
or TAB characters (the usual practice is a single TAB). The first
field is the name of the newsgroup, and the second is a short
description of the group.

The webmail server has to inject the messages to SMTP servers, and
they have access to its IP address. I can blocklist that IP address if
appropriate.

The solution is to reject all traffic from that IP block unless they
are blocking outbound port 25.

No, that means that you don't accept any relayed traffic from an MTA
that you haven't already determined logs the IP addresses correctly.

That's not good enough.

... And the purpose of this command is to deliver this
description to the newsreader software, and therefore to the
user.
There's no magic way that the Netnews "server" responding to
this command may know it's no longer feed with the relevant
articles by its peers.

Say, the IP address of one (or more) of Google Mail MX'es?

The "privacy-enabled" IPv6 autoconfiguration makes the host
choose a new IPv6 address once in, like, 15 minutes. Likewise,
"dynamic" IP's (still widely used, as it seems) are likely to
change every few hours to few days.
And did I mention botnets, BTW?

And how do you determine that without accepting some traffic
first?

Perhaps.

I'm not running a whistleblowers hot line or the like and have no need

You don't, but you can certainly apply harsher filtering criteria to
MTA's that haven't established trust.

I have done quite well with using just system(). It has the great
advantage of having been built in to Perl since Perl 4 and I presume
from about day 1 -- I run scripts on a number of systems that I don't
control and that have revisions anywhere from 5.8 to 5.14.
In most cases, I've needed to check only zero versus non-zero. In the
few cases where I've wanted to know the exact code, I used the code
provided in "perldoc -f system" to break out the exit code, signal,
and/or coredump.
The other concern is how to deal with shell processing. I want the
shell involved if I'm doing something like
system("server_proc < '$control_file' > '$log_out' 2>&1")
so I use the one-argument form. But in many cases I have my own
filenames and stuff that I don't want the shell to interpret. In that
case, I do the >1 argument form, as detailed in the system doc.
If you need to provide input programmatically or need to process the
output, then you have to get all complicated with open with pipes
instead of system.

Thanks for the above detailed info. It will come handy for something. In
this case, I realised following a previous response that system waits with
proceeding onto the next block upon completing the system call, which was
all I needed the script to do after all.

Instead of hijacking a previous post, which doesn't have anything to
do with your particular question, it would be better if you would
post a new one with a pertinent subject and question.
BTW: ImageMagick (PerlMagick) can do this pretty easily.

How is asking for the OP's source a "hijack." I don't want to start a
new thread with this, because it's not the most important thing I'm
working on now, and who died to leave you as Abigail van Buren to

While it's not my source code, calling system() is really simple. See
perldoc -f system for several examples, including capturing the return
code or calling system with a single parameter or a list of parameters.

What images? The OP was asking about system(). That has nothing to do
with images.

Well, that's four, so what'd I miss? '\?' for a literal '?'? The special
meaning of ? as a pattern delimiter? Something else I've forgotten?

I seem to have wiped out my previous perl install when updating ubuntu,

What does a person do when make install fails? The particular error

They give a help link at cpan, and I didn't see this issue there.
Beyond this particular issue, what modules would you install and play

The error message speaks for itself: the build process can't find a
library. That means that something is missing in your install.
If you check the URL mentioned in the Image::Magick module
documentation, you'd find an URL to the home page of the extension,
where it is specifically stated:
ImageMagick must already be installed on your system.
So, it seems that you should install ImageMagick first.
