Ward directories has to be the most redundantly approached problem

it to 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.

Sound like too much work. A pitty!!
