I tried:

#!perl
@list = qw(Red Green Blue);
@color = MacPerl::Pick("Pick two colours:",@list);
foreach (@color) {print "$_\n"}

And it only returned the first item picked in the list.  Apparently, you
can select more than one value, but only one is returned.  Perhaps this can
be changed in the next version (unless there is already a way to do it);
however, it might break for people expecting a scalar instead of a list.
Maybe a new method (PickMultiple/Many) would be in order.
