thanks for the upload.
i installed the update yesterday; for tedious technical reasons i was
unable to do one of my consistency checks from home, yesterday, which is
why the announcement hasn't come until now.

Name of contribution: PerlTeX
Version number: 2.1
Author's name: Scott Pakin
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/perltex/
Summary description: Define LaTeX macros in terms of Perl code
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
PerlTeX is a combination Perl script (perltex.pl) and LaTeX2e style
file (perltex.sty) that, together, give the user the ability to define
LaTeX macros in terms of Perl code. Once defined, a Perl macro
becomes indistinguishable from any other LaTeX macro. PerlTeX
thereby
combines LaTeX's typesetting power with Perl's programmability.
Version 2.1 works better across different operating systems, TeX
distributions, and Perl versions than its predecessors.
