One possibility is if you have the scripts stored on a Unix box running
NetAtalk (or maybe CAP, not sure about that.) That way you could mount a
Mac volume (living on the Unix box) with the scripts there, and make sure
text translation is on (to convert CR's). MacPerl quite happily opens files
that are written on Unix with unix-style CR's, as long as you set .pl to be
type TEXT. Might be more trouble that it's worth if your not already such a
setup, but it's a nice feature.
