I am trying now to do this, for some reason it is not working, but I have not yet looked more to see why (it perl -d is not starting, as something is terminating right away). btw I am using XP pro, sp 2. $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.1 me 1.5.12(0.116/4/2) 2004-11-10 08:34 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin $ which perl /usr/bin/perl $ perl --version This is perl, v5.8.5 built for cygwin-thread-multi-64int Copyright 1987-2004, Larry Wall $ which latex2html /usr/local/bin/latex2html $ perl -d latex2html foo.tex Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.27 Editor support available. Enter h or `h h' for help, or `man perldebug' for more help. Debugged program terminated. Use q to quit or R to restart, use O inhibit_exit to avoid stopping after program termination, h q, h R or h O to get additional info. DB<1> May be this from man perldebug is realted to the above? "In Perl, the debugger is not a separate program the way it usually is in the typical compiled environment. Instead, the -d flag tells the compiler to insert source information into the parse trees it's about to hand off to the interpreter. That means your code must first compile correctly for the debugger to work on it. Then when the inter-preter starts up, it preloads a special Perl library file containing the debugger. The program will halt right before the first run-time executable statement (but see below regarding compile-time statements) and ask you to enter a debugger command. Contrary to popular expectations, whenever the debugger halts and shows you a line of code, it always displays the line it's about to execute, rather than the one it has just executed." I have the feeling it will be another long night debugging this, all to get latex2html to work. Sometimes I think may be I should just switch to Linux and be done with it :) thanks for your help Bill __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - You care about security.
