+%
+% Normally, \perlmac\ issues a \texttt{Document must be compiled using
+%   perltex} error if a document specifies |\usepackage{perltex}| but is
+% not compiled using \perltex.  However, sometimes \PerlTeX\ may be
+% needed merely to enhance a document's formatting without being
+% mandatory for compiling the document.  For such cases, the
+% \DescribeOption{optional}
+% \pkgoption{optional} package option instructs \perlmac\ only to note
+% that \texttt{Document was compiled without using the perltex script}
+% without aborting the compilation.
+% \DescribeMacro{\ifperl}
+% The author can then use the |\ifperl| macro to test if \perltex\ is
+% being used and, if not, provide alternative definitions for macros and
+% environments defined with |\perlnewcommand| and |\perlnewenvironment|.
+%
+% See Section~\ref{sec:complete-example} for a large \PerlTeX\ example
+% that uses \pkgoption{optional} and |\ifperl| to define an environment
+% one way if \perltex\ is detected and another way if not.  The text
+% preceding the example also shows how to enable a document to compile
+% even if \perlmac\ is not even installed.

+% \subsection{A large, complete example}
+% \label{sec:complete-example}
+%
+% Suppose we want to define a |linkwords| environment that exhibits the
+% following characteristics:
+%
+% \begin{enumerate}
+%   \item All words that appear within the environment's body are
+%     automatically hyperlinked to a given URL that incorporates the
+%     lowercase version of the word somewhere within that URL\@.
+%
+%   \item The environment accepts an optional list of stop~words that
+%     should not be hyperlinked.
+%
+%   \item Paragraph breaks, nested environments, and other
+%     \LaTeX\ markup are allowed within the environment's body.
+% \end{enumerate}
+%
+% Because of the reliance on text manipulation (parsing the
+% environment's body into words, comparing each word against the list of
+% stop~words, distinguishing between text and \LaTeX\ markup, etc.),
+% these requirements would be difficult to meet without \PerlTeX\@.
+%
+% We use three packages to help define the |linkwords| environment:
+% \pkgname{perltex} for text manipulation, \pkgname{hyperref} for
+% creating hyperlinks, and \pkgname{environ} for gathering up the body
+% of an environment and passing it as an argument to a macro.  Most of
+% the work is performed by the \PerlTeX\ macro |\dolinkwords|, which
+% takes three arguments: a URL template that contains ``|\%s|'' as a
+% placeholder for a word from the text, a mandatory but possibly empty
+% space-separated list of lowercase stop~words, and the input text to
+% process.  |\dolinkwords| first replaces all sequences of the form
+% |\|\meta{letters}, |\begin{|\meta{letters}|}|, or
+% |\end{|\meta{letters}|}| with dummy alphanumerics but remembers which
+% dummy sequence corresponds with each original \LaTeX\ sequence.  The
+% macro then iterates over each word in the input text, formatting each
+% non-stop-word using the URL template.  Contractions (words containing
+% apostrophes) are ignored.  Finally, |\dolinkwords| replaces the dummy
+% sequences with the corresponding \LaTeX\ text and returns the result.
+% 
+% The |linkwords| environment itself is defined using the |\NewEnviron|
+% macro from the \pkgname{environ} package.  With |\NewEnviron|'s help,
+% |linkwords| accumulates its body into a |\BODY| macro and passes that
+% plus the URL template and the optional list of stop~words to
+% |\dolinkwords|.
+%
+% As an added bonus,
+% |\ifperl|\dots\linebreak[0]|\else|\dots\linebreak[0]|\fi| is used to
+% surround the definition of the |\dolinkwords| macro and |linkwords|
+% environment.  If the document is not run through \perltex, |linkwords|
+% is defined as a do-nothing environment that simply typesets its body
+% as~is.  Note that \perlmac\ is loaded with the \pkgoption{optional}
+% option to indicate that the document can compile without \perltex.
+% However, the user still needs \perlmac\ to avoid getting a
+% \texttt{File `perltex.sty' not found} error from \LaTeX\@.  To produce
+% a document that can compile even without \perlmac\ installed, replace
+% the |\usepackage[optional]{perltex}| line with the following
+% \LaTeX\ code:
+% 
+% \begin{samepage}
+% \begin{verbatim}
+%    \IfFileExists{perltex.sty}
+%                 {\usepackage[optional]{perltex}}
+%                 {\newif\ifperl}
+% \end{verbatim}
+% \end{samepage}
+%
+% A complete \LaTeX\ document is presented below.  This document, which
+% includes the definition and a use of the |linkwords| environment, can be
+% extracted from the \PerlTeX\ source code into a file called
+% |example.tex| by running
+%
+% \begin{verbatim}
+%    tex perltex.ins
+% \end{verbatim}
+%
+% In the following listing, line numbers are suffixed with ``X'' to
+% distinguish them from line numbers associated with \PerlTeX's source
+% code.
+%
+% \bigskip
+%
+% ^^A  We want the doc package to number and index the lines in our
