>From macperl.pod in the MacPerl distribution:
-----
MacPerl::Quit(LEVEL)

If LEVEL is 0, don't quit after ending the script. If 1, quit if running
under a runtime version, if 2, always quit. If LEVEL is 3, quit if this was
the first script to be run since starting MacPerl.

So all you have to do is to call MacPerl::Quit(1) or MacPerl::Quit(2) and
it should do what you're looking for.

Hope this helps,
Eric
