Creating lables with a barcode

[Nedals]

I'm working on a site that needs to incorporate barcode read and generation. Read is done but now I need the capability to
generate lables that include a barcode (code 128) using Perl. I don't want to use a downloadable font; instead I want to create the barcode image ready for printing. I've done an internet search and can find software at $400.00 and up (with licence restrictions) but would like to develop my own. Can anybody point me in the right direction.

$400 is very steep considering an alternative (and probably better one at that) is free.

Thanks Jeff..
I'll read though and try to understand it. At first glance it looks like I'm going to have to add a module. I'm using an ISP that may or may not let me upload this, and, if I can, I don't know how.

Anyway, let me read and understand. If I get in trouble, I'll be back.

Thanks agian.
