Re: Program to generate buttons for sequence of commands

What kind of "buttons"? A GUI program on a standalone machine? Check
out the Tk module. A CGI program executed through a web browser?
Check out the CGI module.

Each button
will be associated with a sequence of commands. For
examle, after perl runme.pl test, when pressed the first
button, it should execute:

latex test.tex
dvips test.dvi
gview test.ps

command line arguments are stored in the variable @ARGV. Examine this
array to find out what command name was entered.

(This is similar to TeXorg, if you know this. But
this will have a sequence of commands for each button
- not just one command.) Will you please help me get
started? Is this possible?

You haven't given anywhere near enough information to know what "this"
is, let alone to know if it's possible.
