[MacPerl] MacPerl spewing garbage (fwd)

According to Art Cohen:

That should be:

	require "suck.pl";

	&suck(x,y,z,....);
	.
	.
	.

You don't need to do a system call once you've loaded in
your package.  Just call the subroutine.  Also, MacPerl
will not fork off a process - it just spoons it!  NO!!!!!
Sorry - just a joke.  :-)

MacPerl doesn't do forks, systems (except a very few
commands), or multithreading.

Also, Matthias once sent me:

	If you want to be able to edit your source code you
	should do the following:

MacPerl Runtime Version:

	#!perl
		require "XXX.pl";
		exit( 0 );

And then put your source code into XXX.pl.  This allows you
to have a Runtime Version which is quite small and a really
large program which you can edit from BBEdit.  :-)
