Your UserTalk code (or mine) should translate pretty directly to Perl.
What's missing here is time.  I haven't looked at the MacPerl toolbox
interfaces closely enough to know whether there will need to be non-Perl
code to translate between the system scrap and a clipping file...there
would only be a couple of functions needed, but they're not something
Matthias would have done as the first, most important interfaces, and
perhaps not at all.
