perl
Description
Enables Perl to be called directly, outside of any subroutine or script context. The macro will pass everything that appears the first non-space and the end of the macro line to the embedded perl interpreter for evaluation.
Syntax
perl perl function:s
perl function
The Perl function/script to be called
Additional Information
 
Please note that, like miniscripts, there can be no service requests to PTC ALD and the perl macro will not return until the interpreter has finished evaluating its given string.
