I'm not sure what you're asking. Maybe that's because you don't really know what you need to ask. If you want to learn how to program in perl, it doesn't matter how long the program is except that it is probably easier to start with short programs. You can probably learn it the same way you learned programming in C. If you are asking how to make programs in perl long, I would say make them the same way as you make short programs and don't make programs any longer than they need to be. And then, it depends on what you're programming, because it can make sense to use object oriented programming and/or modules to efficiently create programs which appear much shorter than they actually are. That can have the benefit of re- using the code and/or to put code into separate files so that the whole thing becomes more managable. In a way, it's like using #include in C. Programs, over time, tend to get the more longer than they were to begin with --- no matter the language they're written in --- the less clear and defined their purpose is before you start programming. The clearer and the more defined their purpose is before you start programming, the easier and the shorter they will end up, and the easier and shorter they are, the more manageable they remain. The more manageable they remain, the better, and I dare say that the easier, clearer, shorter and more tightly defined a program is, the better the program is. So I guess if you start worring about learning, just start programming and you'll figure it out, because doing it is the best way to learn it, and you will then know what you need to ask. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/

Re: How to can develop a program
For PDF related development one valuable resource is
https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/pdfstandards/pdfreference1.7old.pdf
I don’t have any experience in this but investigated many years ago to automate
digital publication. Maybe it will help. I’m sure Perl can be applied but as
others suggested, using existing tools is a recommended as a place to start.
With an open source toolkit and the above reference it is possible to
understand more clearly how the open source tool was built to support the PDF
document format.

Re: How to can develop a program
First you need the roadmap of what you want to do. The other is to read one or both of the mentioned book below. Or book about beginning perl from the Oreily-Distributor. Maybe the book "Effective Perl Programming" from Joseph N. Hall can be an additional option. As mentioned in another mail from myselve. You have to decide in which programminglanguage you want to develope your tool. That can be perl, but that can also be C, C++, Java, PHP/mysql and so on. One suggestion for you take the language you better know. Learning perl you can do before you start developing a tool or you can do it parallel, but in the second way it is better to start with simple things.

Re: How to can develop a program
I didn't try to read and fully absorb what you've been saying. I see mention of PDFs... So if you're trying to work with PDF files, the first thing you can do is Google "Perl PDF extract information". If that comes up empty, or points you to external tools like an external module or command to help you, you may just have to use it. Start small... Maybe you don't want to use some kind of external PDF tool, for example, well make that a future goal to write your own Perl code to handle it, and maybe it's not even possible or it's going to be quite a bit more involved than you think it could be. Being a novice, you have to realize there are certain limitations to things. In other words, Perl maybe can't do EVERYTHING you want it to.

Perhaps you can automate the downloading and then use tools that merge
PDF files, like pdfunite, to turn them into a single PDF. There's also
pdf2txt that can extract text from a PDF --- of course, that would only
work if there were a way to detect which information is what.
Since we do not have all the PDF files which apparently are all
different, we can't tell how it might be possible to detect which
information is what.
I wouldn't even bother with this because PDF is awful to get
information from automatically. Whoever makes these PDF files needs to
provide the information in such a way that it is usable. Since you
need to download all the files anyway to search for a name, you're
better off merging them into a single file and search that in your
favourite PDF viewer.

Re: How to can develop a program
My goal: I want to create something similar to the phone guide. In this
page exist a great number of documents in format pdf. So, I want to unite
the different documents and can filter for name, last name, location. If I
make this manually I have to open each document, download the document and
search the name of the person manually.
The documents uploaded in this page are different: year, date. They contain
different information.

Re: How to can develop a program
I'm going to be traveling, so will not be able to help much
in the next 2 days.
That is a PDF file you supplied. Is it fair to say you want to
be able to search for all the names listed in a text file and be
able to print out which file contains which name. And in some
cases the name will not be in any of the files? Is that the goal?
Define your goal and we will help you.
The file below is a bit old, but maybe it works for your
PDF files. I have not tested it on your url. I gather
you don't have HTML tables, so maybe it is not for your case.
