In particular, support for complex string manipulation is largely lacking. Perl is a popular general-purpose programming language whose forte is string manipulation. However, it has no typesetting capabilities whatsoever. Clearly, Perl's programmability could complement LaTeX's typesetting strengths. B is the tool that enables a symbiosis between the two systems. All a user needs to do is compile a LaTeX document using B instead of B. (B is actually a wrapper for B, so no B functionality is lost.) If the document includes a C<\usepackage{perltex}> in its preamble, then C<\perlnewcommand> and C<\perlrenewcommand> macros will be made available. These behave just like LaTeX's C<\newcommand> and C<\renewcommand> except that the macro body contains Perl code instead of LaTeX code. =head1 OPTIONS B accepts the following command-line options: =over 4 =item B<--help> Display basic usage information. =item B<--latex>=I Specify a program to use instead of B. For example, C<--latex=pdflatex> would typeset the given document using B instead of ordinary B. =item B<-->[B]B Enable or disable sandboxing. With the default of B<--safe>, B executes the code from a C<\perlnewcommand> or C<\perlrenewcommand> macro within a protected environment that prohibits ``unsafe'' operations such as accessing files or executing external programs. Specifying B<--nosafe> gives the LaTeX document I to execute any arbitrary Perl code, including that which can harm the user's files. See L for more information. =item B<--permit>=I Permit particular Perl operations to be performed. The B<--permit> option, which can be specified more than once on the command line, enables finer-grained control over the B sandbox. See L for more information. =item B<--makesty> Generate a LaTeX style file called F. Replacing the document's C<\usepackage{perltex}> line with C<\usepackage{noperltex}> produces the same output but does not require PerlTeX, making the document suitable for distribution to people who do not have PerlTeX installed. The disadvantage is that F is specific to the document that produced it. Any changes to the document's PerlTeX macro definitions or macro invocations necessitates rerunning B with the B<--makesty> option. =back These options are then followed by whatever options are normally passed to B (or whatever program was specified with C<--latex>), including, for instance, the name of the F<.tex> file to compile. =head1 EXAMPLES In its simplest form, B is run just like B: perltex myfile.tex To use B instead of regular B, use the B<--latex> option: perltex --latex=pdflatex myfile.tex If LaTeX gives a ``C'' error and you trust the F<.tex> file you're trying to compile not to execute malicious Perl code (e.g., because you wrote it yourself), you can disable B's safety mechansisms with B<--nosafe>: perltex --nosafe myfile.tex The following command gives documents only B's default permissions (C<:browse>) plus the ability to open files and invoke the C
