OK. Do I get this right?
I edit a dummy in macperl, save it as a cgi, 
then open the 100K script in bbedit, 
select and copy it all, 
then paste it into the dummy macperl window
and save the 'corrected' dummy

(I wonder if everyone does such a complicated ritual, and if macperl
will accept to patch the 100K it refused to open). Or maybe there's a
smarter way...?

It is not. BBedit won't edit a macperl cgi file.

How do you do that?
