=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>''.
