Different people work different ways. I don't use droplets that much, and I
typically do my MacPerl editing in BBEdit. As a result, I tend to use the
Run Script command (and its associated command key) quite extensively, so
I'm glad it's there. I was also the person who nagged Matthias until he
made Syntax Check work the same way as Run Script, just so that I could
syntax check code I was writing for UNIX without having to first open each
script in MacPerl.

Remember, in Perl, There's More Than One Way To Do It.
