It was about time those Perl scripts are abandoned. The fact that it now produces final .tex files without needing multiple passes and the fact that it can automatically fetch used packages is amazing.

Just a heads-up: what nobody tells you is that MiKTeX is like twice as slow as slow as TeXLive.

I learned this the hard way.
