David,

I vaguely recall some options and haven't checked any (at 3:30 AM, no way)!

1) you can write another perl script to set up your arguments in @ARGV and
put your favorite path in $0.
2) you can take a look at the "One Liner" facility (below "Check Syntax"
and "Make")  as I remember, its pretty much like typing in one line in a
UNIX shell
(goes through all sorts of contortions to get the argument list through
applescript to the perl interpreter)
3) put your script in the right directory and use a command-<number> two
finger salute to invoke your favorite script.  maybe a little window
pops up allowing you to enter a command line?  not sure.
