} Editing the script in BBEdit, BBEdit Lite, Alpha, etc. allows quick access
} to line numbers.  It is not generally recommended to write large scripts in
} the MacPerl editor.

Yes, but in this case it probably wouldn't help.  Notice that line 928 is
the end of file.  This is one of those annoying missing right brace errors
that are a real nuisance to fix.  I generally use a editor that visually
displays matching braces (like emacs and to a certain extent Alpha) to try
and fix them.  On occasion I've had to dismantle a file, removing inner
blocks, to find the problem.
