Pleased to have been able to assist!

Indeed latexmk is very loud by nature. calling it as follows:

$result = `latexmk -pdf -f -silent $filenaam`;
will quite it down a bit, but not totally.

I usually add the -f (force) option, so latexmk doesn't quit at the first unresolvable error it encounters.

the only thing holding me back now is my rudimentary latex skills
Perhaps we should found a "LaTeXmonks" site, but thay will perhaps attract the wrong type of people! ;-)

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
