Merge Graphics with text file

ETC Microsoft Windows
1

I would like to insert a graphic image like .jpg, .gif file in a text doc generated through an application (PERL) in UNIX environment.

Could any one help me ?

Thanks much

What document format is generated?

3

The format of the output file is just plain text

4

The output format will have to change.

5

Please let me know all the different options available to me. I can change the output format. It is not an issue

If the output format can be Postscript/PDF, you can try to generate LaTeX sources through scripting, and then pass the output to LaTeX to convert into PS/PDF. In the university that I studied in, I know of one department which creates shell accounts with random passwords and issues corresponding password sheets in this way. A text-based doc with an image logo. The pdflatex program understands .png and .jpg natively.

If LaTeX appears too hardcore, docbook can be an alternative, though that is not straightforward either.
