+DXF utilities and CAMM-GL III converters
+
+To convert a DXF file to CAMM-GL (which is apparently basically just HP-GL):
+
+$ perl -I. ./dxf2camm.pl --sort box,bottom,left camm-test.dxf > camm-test.camm
+
+To see, what is being plotted, the file can be converted to SVG (colors represent order, going from red to violet):
+
+$ perl -I. ./camm2svg.pl camm-test.camm > camm-test.svg
+
+For the XML tools you need the perl module XML::DOM (package "libxml-dom-perl" in Debian)
