CTAN package update: PerlTeX

A package has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should already have arrived at your favorite mirror. Thank you for the update, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. 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 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. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/perltex although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors
