I'm glad someone asked this question before I asked it.  I had no 
idea that I had to convert all my perl scripts to Mac-style 
linebreaks before they'd work.  I was wondering what was up with 
them; they worked perfectly on my production machines (Linux).  Is 
there any way around the linebreak problem?  That's pretty damn 
annoying.  The whole reason behind installing MacPerl for me was so 
that I could test my scripts wo/ having to disturb my productions 
machines which are usually under a high load.  Someone has surely 
created a fix for this, at least I'd hope so.  Weird...

It's a wonderful utility!  I recommend it to anyone doing *any* sort 
of programming on a Mac--Java, C, Perl, HTML, etc....    Its a 
priceless tool.  I personally would recommend that you buy the full 
version.  Its worth it.  Context-sensitive color coding is the best 
feature of all.  Powerful find/replace features and many more.  Its 
worth the $$.
