+=head1 NAME
+
+perltex - enable LaTeX macros to be defined in terms of Perl code
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+perltex
+[B<--help>]
+[B<--latex>=I<program>]
+[B<-->[B<no>]B<safe>]
+[B<--permit>=I<feature>]
+[I<latex options>]
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+LaTeX -- through the underlying TeX typesetting system -- produces
+beautifully typeset documents but has a macro language that is
+difficult to program. 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<perltex> is the tool that enables a symbiosis between
+the two systems. All a user needs to do is compile a LaTeX document
+using B<perltex> instead of B<latex>. (B<perltex> is actually a
+wrapper for B<latex>, so no B<latex> 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<perltex> accepts the following command-line options:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<--help>
+
+Display basic usage information.
+
+=item B<--latex>=I<program>
+
+Specify a program to use instead of B<latex>. For example,
+C<--latex=pdflatex> would typeset the given document using
+B<pdflatex> instead of ordinary B<latex>.
+
+=item B<-->[B<no>]B<safe>
+
+Enable or disable sandboxing. With the default of C<--safe>,
+B<perltex> 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 C<--nosafe> gives the LaTeX document
+I<carte blanche> to execute any arbitrary Perl code, including that
+which can harm the user's files. See L<Safe> for more information.
+
+=item B<--permit>=I<feature>
+
+Permit particular Perl operations to be performed. The C<--permit>
+option, which can be specified more than once on the command line,
+enables finer-grained control over the B<perltex> sandbox. See
+L<Opcode> for more information.
+
+=back
+
+These options are then followed by whatever options are normally
+passed to B<latex> (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<perltex> is run just like B<latex>:
+
+ perltex myfile.tex
+
+To use B<pdflatex> instead of regular B<latex>, use the C<--latex>
+option:
+
+ perltex --latex=pdflatex myfile.tex
+
+If LaTeX gives a ``C<trapped by operation mask>'' 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<perltex>'s safety mechansisms with C<--nosafe>:
+
+ perltex --nosafe myfile.tex
+
+The following command gives documents only B<perltex>'s default
+permissions (C<:browse>) plus the ability to open files and invoke the
+C<time> command:
+
+ perltex --permit=:browse --permit=:filesys_open
+ --permit=time myfile.tex
+
+=head1 ENVIRONMENT
+
+B<perltex> honors the following environment variables:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item PERLTEX
+
+Specify the filename of the LaTeX compiler. The LaTeX compiler
+defaults to ``C<latex>''. The C<PERLTEX> environment variable
+overrides this default, and the C<--latex> command-line option (see
+L</OPTIONS>) overrides that.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 FILES
+
+While compiling F<jobname.tex>, B<perltex> makes use of the following
+files:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item F<jobname.lgpl>
+
+log file written by Perl; helpful for debugging Perl macros
+
+=item F<jobname.topl>
+
+information sent from LaTeX to Perl
+
+=item F<jobname.frpl>
+
+information sent from Perl to LaTeX
+
+=item F<jobname.tfpl>
+
+``flag'' file whose existence indicates that F<jobname.topl> contains
+valid data
+
+=item F<jobname.ffpl>
+
+``flag'' file whose existence indicates that F<jobname.frpl> contains
+valid data
+
+=item F<jobname.dfpl>
+
+``flag'' file whose existence indicates that F<jobname.ffpl> has been
+deleted
+
+=back
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+B<perltex>'s sandbox defaults to what L<Opcode> calls ``C<:browse>''.
