Including Perl

The second special case of inclusion is a file type of "Perl".


  // include PerlPoint
  \INCLUDE{type=perl file="dynamicPP.pl"}

Inluded Perl is active contents - see the special chapter about it.

If active contents is enabled, included Perl code is evaluated. The code is expected to produce a PerlPoint string which then replaces the inclusion tag and is read like static PerlPoint.

If the included code fails, an error message is displayed and the result is ignored.
