[freeside] print_text usage

[Christopher Brill]

this is a test script i whipped up trying to test this stuff out:

use FS::cust_bill;

$cust_bill = qsearchs('cust_bill',{'invnum'=>$invnum});
@lines = $cust_bill->print_text;
print @lines;

it complains about method table being called with an undefined variable (i
think $table).. am i missing something?.. sorry to bother you guys with such
a simple question.

That's a method call on an FS::cust_bill object, not a subroutine.  See
the FS::cust_bill manpage:

         @lines = $cust_bill->print_text;
         @lines = $cust_bill->print_text $time;


       print_text [TIME];
           Returns an text invoice, as a list of lines.

           TIME an optional value used to control the printing of
           overdue messages.  The default is now.  It isn't the
           date of the invoice; that's the `_date' field.  It is
           specified as a UNIX timestamp; see the time entry in
           the perlfunc manpage.  Also see the Time::Local man­
           page and the Date::Parse manpage for conversion func­
           tions.
