You can edit droplets directly from within BBEdit using the 
"Edit MacPerl Script" plugin.  It's got some limitations on the 
length of the script's name (it needs seven characters on the end 
to add " [Perl]" to the temp cache file), but otherwise seems to 
work fairly well.  I don't work with it extensively, so I can't 
speak to its long term stability.
