Contents of README:+------------------------------------+ | PERLTEX | | By Scott Pakin, scott+pt@pakin.org | +------------------------------------+ Description ----------- 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. Installation ------------ In case it's not obvious, you'll need a Perl installation. Perl is freely available and runs on dozens of platforms. See the list of Perl binary distributions on CPAN (http://www.cpan.org/ports/index.html). Execute "latex perltex.ins" to generate perltex.sty and perltex.pl. Install perltex.sty in an appropriate directory (e.g., /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/misc or C:\localtexmf\tex\latex\misc). perltex.pl is a Perl script. On Unix, you may want to rename it to just "perltex" and set execute permissions ("chmod +x perltex"). On Windows, you may want to create a batch-file wrapper for it ("pl2bat perltex.pl"). In either case, perltex should be installed somewhere in your executable path (e.g., /usr/local/bin). It's not necessary to produce the documentation as PerlTeX comes with prebuilt documentation in PDF format (perltex.pdf). However, if you want to build the documentation yourself (e.g., to use A4 paper instead of U.S. Letter), run "latex perltex.dtx" twice, then "makeindex -s gind.ist perltex.idx" and "makeindex -s gglo.ist perltex.glo -o perltex.gls", then "latex perltex.dtx" again, then "dvips perltex.dvi -o perltex.ps" if you want to produce PostScript.
