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.
