Normally I use Rez (an MPW tool) to update this setting when I get a new 
version of MacPerl (I have the command line marked in the worksheet and 
simply jump to the mark and execute it, but everyone doesn't have MPW)...

I posted the script as a quick _MacPerl_ solution for those who, like you 
(and I) don't want to ResEdit every new copy of MacPerl... just hard-code 
your preferred editor's creator code into it ($creator = yourEditorCode), 
replace everything from "( $creator ) = @ARGV;" to the changeRez sub with 
a call to changeRez, run it whenever you get a new MacPerl (or a new 
editor), and you're good to go...

YMMV, but it seems like a simple solution, and lets Matthias worry about 
more important issues than a simple prefs thingie, like bringing us 
threaded MacPerl  :-)

cheers,

Dave
