PowerPlant-enhanced MacPerl? PerlPlant? Can I buy two dozen educational
licenses?

Actually, what *I* would _really_ love to have is something like SuperCard
(PerlCard?), but with Perl as scripting language rather than SuperTalk.
Would that too be a step outside the PowerPlant license?

$WINDOW{"Untitled 1"}->OK_button->disable;
$MENU{"File"} = new Menu [ "Open..." =>  \&Open, "Close" => \&Close, "Save
as..." => \&Save, "Save/S" => \&Save, "Page Setup..." => \&Page_setup,
"Print..." => \&Print, "Quit" => \&Quit ];

I haven't tried/seen Tk, would that be similar? (And there still isn't
Perl/Tk for MacPerl, is there? My stomach doesn't agree with Tcl.)
