PerlTeX is a combination Perl script (perltex.pl) and LaTeX2e style

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.
