[MacPerl] suggestion: shuck as default creator



Suggestion:

make most MacPerl files's creator to Shuck, so that people can double click to read them in Shuck. This is very important for beginners.

Examples:

* all the .pod files should have Shuck as creator.

* the file "Shuck Manual" does not have creator Shuck. This is ironic. When a beginner double click on it, thinking "ok, I guess I'll read the manual" and found out a bunch of garbage looking code.

* It is convenient for most files in the "lib" folder to have Shuck as creator, so that programers can read it in Shuck without extra dragging or the like. For those who likes to read them in text editor, they'll have to change creator anyway so it doesn't make sense for them to stay with MacPerl creator.

Matthias, 10 minutes on your part saves hundreds of 10 minutes. Not all who have convenient means to change file creator, or possibly not familiar with the creator thingy.
