Version number: 2.0
Author's name: Scott Pakin

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.
