Name of contribution: PerlTeX
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.

This release includes a new --makesty command-line option that
generates a PerlTeX-free (but document-specific) noperltex.sty file
suitable for distributing to people who don't have PerlTeX installed.
