Perl Scripting in Arbortext APP

Summary
The perl command enables Perl to be called directly, outside of any subroutine or script context. The macro passes everything from the first non-space to the end of the macro line to the embedded perl interpreter for evaluation.
Example (n/a)
No example is available for this feature.

Syntax (6.77a)
perl function:s

Specifies the Perl function/script to call.

Please note that like miniscripts, there can be no service requests to Arbortext APP and the perl macro will not return until the interpreter has finished evaluating its given string.
