[Koha] Spine Labels, Card Labels and mystery perl scripts

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to find a way to print out spine labels with our call  
number and a library card label with author,title and inventory code  
on this paper: http://www.librarysuppliers.com/user-cgi/display.cgi? 
id=197#
I am the programmer working with our Librarian to roll out Koha and  
this is our last task before production!

We are using Koha version 2.2.7 and I have managed to get the barcode  
thing to work with PDF::API2.

I have read the faqs, docs, and this list and have found a few  
mentions of similar requests although I haven't found anything that  
works yet.

Does anyone know how to do this?  I'd really like to avoid writing  
something from scratch as I am not a native perl coder.

Looking at the cgi-bin/barcodes folder there are several perl scripts  
besides the barcode related ones that suggest that it may be  
possible:  cards.pl, label-manager.pl, label-home.pl, etc.  However I  
can't find any docs on these scripts.

I recently tried the Barcode Generator, revision 1.00 from the  
Extensions Manager.  It didn't work for me when I tried to go to the  
label manager my koha-error_log quacked about it not having a  
corresponding tmpl file (Which it did not!).

Thanks!
Tony
