in reply to raffle_tickets_generator

Hello QuillMeantTen,

As usual, I'm looking for ways to get better so constructive criticism is welcome.

I can’t try out your code, as I don’t currently have pdflatex installed. But I notice that you call open and close without testing for failure. It’s good practice to either test each call explicitly:

open(my $tombolatex, '>', 'int.tex')
    or die "Cannot open file 'int.tex' for writing: $!";

or to put:

use autodie;

at the head of your script. See autodie.

Hope that helps,

    Yikes, I missed that, thank you. I already automatically add 

    use strict;
use warnings;

    [download]
    but autodie does not come as easily to mind yet.
