I do not see what is special about BBedit or Alpha in regard to MacPerl:
Any TextEditor which is properly apple-scriptable, e.g. Tom Bender's
TexEdit+ or Mariner Write etc. can be turned into an editor for MacPerl. I
have done a couple of AppleScripts for TexEdit+ in the past, since I wanted
to use German and Japanese characters within the same script. These scripts
are not really mature, but on the other hand, there is nothing special
about them, so everybody who really wants can fix his own
IDE/frontend/editor, whatever you call it. I don't see that there is
anything that can't be done with apple script but which is possible in
BBedit, apart from the respective built-in features of these editors. (If
you really wanted to, you even could use MacPerl to implement a BBedit-like
grep replace feature for TexEdit+ or Mariner.)
