Okay folks, I'm going to give up on the mail client and go back to the
geometry code.
Here's my output from CAD::Drawing::IO::FlatYAML (this only writes for now (no
read until I can do hex -> aci color conversion.))

My 'point' arrays will always have three points (even if the Z value is zero),
but Z is optional in the 'specification' (when will this get written?), and I
don't care to check whether it is zero or not.
For those of you brave enough to try it, you can run CAD::Drawing without the
dwg toolkit as long as you build your drawings in Perl (no other input
backends available yet.)
If you want to use dwg/dxf, send a letter or fax to the open-design alliance
and get your 'free' (as in beer) toolkit. See their site for details.
Alternatively, fix the pythoncad dwg reader and I'll write a GPL compatible
backend for that.
Alternatively, write a text class for the dime C++ dxf read/write library and
I'll finish writing the GPL binding for that.
