I have just uploaded XML::Handler::AxPoint to CPAN.

This module allows you to create beautiful PDF presentations/slideshows
using an XML format, and lovely SAX goodness.

AxPoint is originally part of the AxKit project, but I have separated this
code off for several reasons: 1) it's useful, and I wanted it to be SAX,
2) I sometimes need to create presentations without AxKit installed. 3) I
needed some of the streaming stuff in SAX.

It's now pretty full featured. It has the following features:

 - Ability to create slideshows with your choice of background image
 - Slideshows break down into slidesets, or not at your choice.
 - Slides can show bullet points, source code (fixed font), or
   images.
 - Slides can have transition effects (dissolve, box, wipe, etc)
 - All elements of a slide can transition in too.
 - Text on slides supports bold, italics, and colours. Colours can be
   any one of the 16 HTML colours, or defined as hex RGB values.
 - Output uses the standard XML::SAX::Writer consumer classes, allowing
   you to output direct to a file, or to a string, or however you
   need to. Very useful for dynamic web based presentations.
 - PDF bookmarks allow direct navigation to any slide,

Examples of what the output looks like can be found here:
http://axkit.org/docs/presentations/tpc2001/, though I'm going to try and
do some screenshots to stick on axkit.org.
