Summary description: Define LaTeX macros in terms of Perl code 
License type: lppl

Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

The following changes have been made from the previous
version of PerlTeX:

   * perlmacros.sty has been renamed to perltex.sty.

   * PerlTeX macros can now return LaTeX code which in
     turn invokes other PerlTeX macros.
