      PerlTeX is a combination Perl script (perltex) and
      LaTeX2e style file (perlmacros) 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.
