Ward directories has to be the most redundantly approached problem on the

populate a LaTeX template and generate PDF, right? It took login/password
from a web form, and would actually generate directories for every ward in
your entire stake. I had it hosted on campus.
And I even went to church HQ and offered to set it up for them, since
they've apparently wanted the ability to generate .PDFs for quite a while,
but for some bureaucratic reason they didn't seem to care... Sigh.

How can I use your program?
Well, the service is no longer online now that I've left BYU, but I do have
some very messy backups of the source. If you're willing to do some serious
perl hacking I'll clean them up and put up a tarball. lds.org is probably
different now, so you'll probably also need to update the scraping code too.
