Conversion rates with perl

How to track conversions with perl

[pagey_3]

Hi - I have NO experience with Perl, but I have taken over a site that uses it for certain things. When people download a PDF, the 'download' button activates a perl script that sends the relevant information to our sales teams' inboxes, and opens the PDF in a new window. For us, a conversion (from Google adwords) would be someone making a download, so how do I go about adding conversion script in this situation - where do I put it - there's no landing page, just a PDF. Or do I add it to the perl script - if so how? Thank you

Adding a line to the script just before the PDF is opened sounds as good a place as any in this instance.

Hopefully you have some experience of programming though? If not and you have a deadline to hit, it might be an idea to look for a freelancer with experience in this area to modify the script for you.
