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.
PerlTeX has been made more robust in version 1.9. Specifically,
perltex.pl no longer inserts a spurious end-of-line character on a
short pipe read and no longer hangs if latex exits at the exact moment
that perltex.pl tries to contact it. Thanks to Chromatic Dragon for
reporting these bugs and testing the fixes.

dependencies, texi2pdf for compilation, vpp for viewing and printing.

Vpp displays a PDF document or a PostScript document (after conversion to pdf

leave the viewer and use vpp's facilities to print selected pages to a one- or
two-sided hardcopy or an A5-booklet. Can also be used to re-arrange pages in a
PDF document.
