Re: system call to pdflatex

got it - the whole time I didnt realize (know) that the "system" perl call uses / as its working dir, not the working dir of the perl script... And he obviously didnt have right to write there so... putting cd /tmp && In front of every system call fixed it... took me 3 hours to realize this... GREAT!

Counts as "somehow" for me :-) Yes, it is highly probable. And it should be configurable, too.	[reply]
