[MacPerl] using BBedit Lite as a script editor

You are going about it backwards.  :-)

Bring up MacPerl.  Then bring up BBEDit.  Edit the program
using BBEdit.  There are a set of plug-ins for BBEdit which
will move the program over to MacPerl, run it, and return
the output back to you.

However, according to others, you should be able to just
jump from MacPerl to BBEdit.  I've never tried it nor do I
do it since it never worked for me either.  :-)

The thing I do not understand is why the plug-in can't boot
MacPerl.  The guy who wrote the BBEdit plug-in for Chipmunk
Basic can boot CB up before he moves the source over and
runs it.  So there has to be a way to do this for MacPerl.
