MPW tool output does tend toward this standard and that's what the Mac is
all about: standards.

So maybe the behaviour could be "standard Perlish" for the standalone
MacPerl and use the

    # Warning: something's wrong, <> chunk 1.
    File ':test.pl'; Line 1

    # Died.
    File ':test.pl'; Line 1

format under MPW?

Questions: If the output format changes to match "standard" Perl format for
the standalone MacPerl app,

1) how does this affect the Jump To: menu item in MacPerl?

2) How would this affect the BBEdit error Browser interaction?

3) Are there any other ramifications? (not the least of which is scripts
that work now because they expect the "macized" output format)
