Trouble with PDF::API2 paragraph function

We have some ancient code for printing documents that relied on the PDF::API2 module. When we upgraded our systems, this module has some different behavior and our program was throwing errors.
First, I commented out the “pdf->page->text->compress” function calls and that helped. But some text was not showing up. Turns out the “text->paragraph” function totally changed. Thankfully google led me to this page where I found the proper way to update my paragraph calls:

OLD
$text->paragraph("Hello, just a test."x10, -x => 300, -y => 600, -h => 600, -w => 200);

NEW
$text->translate( 300, 600 );
$overflow = $text->paragraph( "Hello, just a test. "x10, 200, 600 );

Scary note at the bottom, but applying the change above worked for me!
