This should have produced a nice, fat warning.
The script never gets there; apparently /^"([^"]{2,})","(\d)","(.+)"$/ never matches because of carriage returns... Specifically, 
(.+)"$

[download]
can't match 
"\r\n (ends of strings from __DATA__ section)

[download]

(perl -E '"foo\r\n" =~ /foo$/ or say "cant match!"').

perl -i -pe 'tr/\r//d' latex.pl fixes that and the script starts to emit tons of warnings.

I thought $ works on Windows with carriage returns but it seems it doesn't...
