Closing the window will do the trick. MacPerl will open it again the next
time you print to STDOUT.

Try writing something like this in your script to reset the window:

&MacPerl'DoAppleScript(<<'END_SCRIPT');
tell application "MacPerl"
        Close Window "MacPerl"
end tell
END_SCRIPT

I don't know any more elegant way around this. Maybe there is something
like 007 for the beep?

hope this helps,
