You are far better off *always* using BBEdit Lite for scripting.  That way,
every script you save will have the desired type/creator.  Copy/paste from
BBEdit Lite to MacPerl is a waste of time since you can access the file directly
from MacPerl (ref. "Script" menu) and edit the file in BBEdit Lite by setting
the "editor" Helper in Internet Config to BBEdit Lite (using MacPerl 5.1.9r4). 
What better cooperation between two very powerful applications?  Actually, there
is, using BBEdit 4.5 and AppleScript.
