This executes a Perl import filter for the given file. Look in the perl import section for detailed information.

If no name is given the inline Perl block will be used. This is a block in your macro starting with a line containing PERL and ending with a line containing PERL. The default timeout for Perl scripts is 10 seconds. After this time the Perl job will be killed to prevent never come back jobs. You can set the timeout individual with the tasktimeout <sec> macro command.
