The only time it fails for me is when MacPerl crashes or something, and
then it loses track of the file already opened in BBEdit.

Something you might want to consider using is the "Edit MacPerl Script"
BBEdit plugin, which opens droplets and runtimes.  It works pretty much
through the same mechanism as the command you are already using from within
MacPerl, I believe (though I could be wrong).
