Re: [MacPerl] new user help pls re filesize

[george cingolani <gcingo@accesscom.com>]

and thanks!! for your kind advice,,apparenatly getting the pluggins does not
appear to negate the filesize restriction in macperl....

per below from Charles A. (and others thanks everyobe for all your kind
responses)...now that I received these pluggins, can someone tell me how I
can tell they are working...at least the ones which are apropos to BBeditLite

" Better yet, get the BBEdit Perl plug-ins and have nearly complete access
to MacPerl from within the BBEdit environment.  STDOUT and STDERR will
get returned in BBEdit windows (and if you need STDIN, then from
BBEdit, you can specify that MacPerl should run in front).

The package is available at <http://pobox.com/~bradh/bbedit>"
