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.

This version (1.5) should run faster on operating systems that
support persistent named pipes: Linux, Unix, Mac OS X (untested) --
not Windows.
