Hey Hans,

this was just announced on comp.text.tex:

> Name of contribution: PerlTeX
> Name and email: Scott Pakin <...>
> Suggested location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/supported/perltex
> Summary description: Define LaTeX macros in terms of Perl code
> License type: LaTeX Project
> 
> Announcement text:
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
> PerlTeX is a combination Perl script (perltex) and
> LaTeX2e style file (perlmacros) 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.
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------

So ... when are we going to have the same feature in ConTeXt?
After all, we already need a wrapper script (texexec) to run
it, right?
