I have uploaded version 3.00 of Template::Plugin::Latex to PAUSE - it 
should find its way to CPAN soon.

There are no changes (apart from the version number) from 3.00_05, which 
was released 18 months ago.

This version of the Template Toolkit LaTeX plugin represents a 
refactoring of the code compared to the plugin of the same name included 
in Template-Latex 2.17.  The code to run the various LaTeX processes was 
factored out into the LaTeX::Driver module, leaving just the filter code 
in the plugin.

One of the main advantages of the new plugin is that it tries to be a 
bit more intelligent than just running "latex" on the source code.  
Assuming that no errors were detected on the first run, "latex" will be 
run again if undefined references are detected; "bibtex" will be run to 
generate a bibliography if a ".bib" file is detected in the temporary 
directory after running "latex"; similarly "makeindex" is run if a 
".idx" file is found.  "latex" is run repeatedly if labels change when 
running "latex".  The upshot is that a generated LaTeX documents that 
includes references, table of contents, lists of figures and tables, 
index and bibliography should be formatted correctly.

Feedback and comments are welcome.
