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 2.1 works better across different operating systems, TeX
distributions, and Perl versions than its predecessors.
