Ignore files listed in @excludes. Fetches HTML files by URL instead of file so html2ps will process images. Add to HTML as needed, for html2ps to handle. Links *not* converted from HTML to PDF 8^( Requires external libraries html2ps and gs-aladdin, but no perl modules. =head1 Tested html2ps 1.0b1-8 gs-aladdin 5.50-8 Perl 5.00503 Debian 2.2r3 =head1 Updated 2001-05-30 22:25 Add explanatory html2ps and ps2pdf syntax comments Eliminate redundant code with PrintLocs() Replace this: for(keys %count) { if ($count{$_} != 2) { push @includes, $_; } } with: @includes = grep {$count{$_}!=2} keys %count; Replace $element with $_ like so: for(@pages, @excludes) { $count{$_}++ } Fix weird indenting. Post to PerlMonks. More informative runtime messeages. Additional details to pod. 2001-05-28 19:25 Remove test 'print' lines. Catch potential 'system' errors properly with '$?'. Simplify exclude handling. Exclude syntax derived from Ram p106. Initial working code, =head1 Todos Print to logfile as well as console. Getopt::Long to specify HTML, PS, and PDF directories. Perlish alternative to system call to html2ps. HTML::FormatPs doesn't handle HTML tables 8^( Perlish alternative to system call to ps2pdf. =head1 Author ybiC =head1 Credits Thanks to stephen for '$?' tip with system, jeroenes for cleaner exclusions syntax and for spotting funky indents Oh yeah, and to some guy named vroom. =cut
