You need to get the file "clipboard.XFCN" (the MacPerl Primer page tells
you where).  Then put it in your lib or site_perl directory.  Then use a
subroutine like this:
#-----------------------------------------------------------------
sub setClip {
        package Dartmouth;
        &MacPerl::LoadExternals('clipboard.XFCN');
        package main;
        $blank = &Dartmouth::Clipboard();
        &Dartmouth::Clipboard($text);
}
#-----------------------------------------------------------------
