+.
+This is a preprocessor for

+.
+It allows the use of
+.MR perl 7
+code in
+.MR groff 7
+files.
+.
+The result of a

+can be stored in groff
+.I strings
+or
+.I numerical registers
+based on the arguments at a final line of a
+.IR "Perl part" .
+.
+.
+.P
+If no operands are given,
+or if
+.I file
+is
+.RB \[lq] \- \[rq],
+.I gperl
+reads the standard input stream.
+.
+A double-dash argument

+causes all subsequent arguments to be interpreted as
+.I file
+operands,

+.SS "Ending Perl mode with storage"
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+A useful feature of
+.I gperl
+is to store one or more results from the
+.IR "Perl mode" .
+.
+.
+.P
+The output of a
+.I Perl part
+can be got with backticks
+.BR \[ga]...\[ga] .
+.
+.
+.P
+This program collects all printing to STDOUT (normal standard output)
+by the Perl
+.B print
+program.
+.
+This pseudo-printing output can have several lines, due to printed
+line breaks with
+.BR \(rsn .
+.
+By that, the output of a Perl run should be stored into a Perl array,
+with a single line for each array member.
+.
+.
+.P
+This Perl array output can be stored by
+.I gperl
+in either
+.TP
+.I groff strings
+by creating a groff command
+.B .ds
+.
+.TP
+.I groff register
+by creating a groff command
+.B .rn
+.
+.
+.P
+The storage modes can be determined by arguments of a final stopping
+.B .Perl
+command.
+.
+Each argument
+.B .ds
+changes the mode into
+.I groff string
+and
+.B .nr
+changes the mode into
+.I groff register
+for all following output parts.
+.
+.
+.br
+.ne 2v
+.P
+By default, all output is saved as strings, so
+.B .ds
+is not really needed before the first
+.B .nr
+command.
+.
+That suits to
+.MR groff 7 ,
+because every output can be saved as
+.I groff
+string, but the registers can be very restrictive.
+.
+.
+.P
+In
+.IR "string mode" ,
+.I gperl
+generates a
+.I groff string
+storage line
+.RS
+.EX
+.BI .ds " var_name content"
+.EE
+.RE
+.
+In
+.I register mode
+the following groff command is generated
+.RS
+.EX
+.BI .nr " var_name content"
+.EE
+.RE
+.
+.
+.P
+We present argument collections in the following.
+.
+You can add as first argument for all
+.BR stop .
+.
+We omit this additional element.
+.
+.
+.P
+.TP
+.BI ".Perl .ds " var_name
+This will store 1 output line into the groff string named
+.I var_name
+by the automatically created command
+.RS
+.RS
+.EX
+.BI .ds " var_name output"
+.EE
+.RE
+.RE
+.
+.
+.TP
+.BI .Perl " var_name"
+If
+.I var_name
+is different from
+.B start
+this is equivalent to the former command, because the string mode is
+string with
+.B .ds
+command.
+default.
+.
+.
+.TP
+.BI .Perl " var_name1 var_name2"
+This will store 2 output lines into groff string names
+.I var_name1
+and
+.IR var_name2 ,
+because the default mode
+.B .ds
+is active, such that no
+.B .ds
+argument is needed.
+.
+Of course, this is equivalent to
+.RS
+.RS
+.EX
+.BI ".Perl .ds " "var_name1 var_name2"

+.RE
+.

+.BI .nr " var_name1 output_line1"
+.BI .nr " var_name2 output_line2"
+.EE
+.RE
+.
+.
+.TP
+.BI ".Perl .nr " var_name1 " .ds " var_name2

+.
+.\" ====================================================================
+.SH Example
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+A possible
+.I Perl part
+in a
+.I roff file
+could look like that:
+.RS
+.EX
+before
+\&.Perl start
+my $result = \[aq]some data\[aq];
+print $result;
+\&.Perl stop .ds string_var
+after
+.EE
+.RE
+.
+.
+.P
+This stores the result
+.B \(rqsome data\(rq
+into the
+.I roff string
+called
+.BR string_var ,
+such that the following line is printed:
+.RS
+.EX
+\&.ds string_var some data
+.EE
+.RE
+by
+.I gperl
+as food for the coming
+.I groff
+run.
+.
+.
+.P
+A
+.I Perl part
+with several outputs is:
+.RS
+.EX
+\&.Perl start
+print \(rqfirst\(rsn\(rq;
+print \(rqsecond line\(rsn\(rq;
+print \(rq3\(rsn\(rq;
+\&.Perl var1 var2 .nr var3
+.EE
+.RE
+.
+This stores 3 printed lines into 3
+.I groff
+strings.
+.BR var1 , var2 , var3 .
+.
+So the following
+.I groff
+command lines are created:
+.RS
+.EX
+\&.ds var1 first
+\&.ds var2 second line
+\&.nr var3 3
