Don't forget that MacPerl also searches the "current" folder... which AFAIK
is the folder which the script is stored in.

Yes. I'm not sure exactly how much, but on my PowerBook 180 MacPerl runs
slow. Using MacPerl over the network makes it run slower (I'm using
LocalTalk w/LC III as the "Server"). The AppleTalk arrows constantly flash
when I run most of my scripts - how much of this is due to file access that
my script is running, I don't know.

Windows 95: n. 32 bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch
to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor,
written by a 2 bit company that can't stand 1 bit of competition.
