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.
