Accessible HTML slideshows

FYI this is the very simple slidemaker tool that Raman created. Requires
that you run on a machine with perl installed.

Hi Len--

Here is a perl script that does what you want.
--I created it a while ago to author my own slideshows in
HTML--

Simply author your separate html pages, create a file called
toc in which you list the files (one per line) in the order
you want them linked, and let perl do the rest of the work
for you.
I'm posting this so you 
  dont inflict powerpoint excreted HTML on us!)

foreach $i (0..$#toc){
    my $this = $toc[$i];
    my $next =$toc[$i+1];
    my $prev = $toc[$i-1] if ($i > 0);
    my $panel = getNavigationPanel ( $next, $prev, $contents);
    rename ($this,  $this.".bak");
    open (INPUT, "$this.bak") or die "Could not read
