Name of contribution: PerlTeX Version number: 2.0 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 2.0 (not a major release, just the version after 1.9) of PerlTeX fixes two bugs. First, user code can now safely change the current directory. Second, multi-paragraph error output is now reported correctly. Thanks to Przemyslaw Wesolek for providing a bug report and minimal example that triggered both bugs. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
