Serving up a pdf file

All, I have a page with a link "Quiz1". When the user clicks on the the link, a perl script will be summoned that will populate forms of a pdf document. Now, I could create a new page at this point with a link to the newly created pdf, but could someone suggest a technique where I simply send th

Charles et al, Certainly good advice, and I did print it out, so I do know what happens. %perl junk.pl affection3 Compilation finished at Fri Jul 16 20:02:43 It's just that I don't know why this happens. At 09:52 PM 7/16/04 -0500, Charles K. Clarkson wrote: >David Arnold <

Searching ahead in a file

All, I have a file that is filled with exercises that was written in a brand of lamstex that I need to convert to latex. Exercises begin like this: \ex If $f(x)=x^2$, blah ... That is, I can count on each exercise beginning with the \ex macro. Now there are at times instructions for groups of e

Need suggestions

All, Being only moderately comfortable with Perl, I find myself in need of some direction on a more complex task. I have a tex file containing a large number of exercises shaped as follows: \ex This is the text of the exercise as it appears in the book. The exercise may have several parts. \pt T
