The MacPerl application does its compilation of the source into a 
highly-optimized
internal form. You can save files into droplets, runtime applications, 
BBEdit editing
extensions, and CGI programs.

In general, since the Macintosh printing architecture is so fully 
featured, it
may be better to output your printed material to a file which can be 
opened by
an application which can do the printing. For instance, output your text 
to a file
and have SimpleText or BBEdit print the file.
