$_PTM_PREPROCESS VARIABLE
-------------------------

  -----------
  DESCRIPTION
  -----------

    As of PTM 0.5.0 Beta this variable has become obsolete and has been removed.
    This documentation stands only as reference for older versions.
    
    DO NOT USE THIS VARIABLE

    $_PTM_PREPROCESS, though being a publicly accessible variable, should NEVER
    be directly modified at run-time. $_PTM_PREPROCESS stores the Perl code from
    your PREPROCESS tags until it is ready to be evaluated, at which point it is
    run via a Perl "eval" statement. Using PTM's PREPROCESS tag is the only
    acceptable method of modifying this variable.
