Thanks for mentioning this as I had never bothered to read MacPerl.Frontend and
it's pretty interesting in many respects. For one thing, I didn't know that
MacPerl is recordable, altho I've yet to run across an app in which that was as
useful as you would hope it might be.

My biggest single gripe about MacPerl (or actually just Perl in general) is that
there is such a vast array of documentation, modules, etc., that it is quite
time consuming to even figure out where to start looking for some stuff. One
thing that might be nice (if somebody had the time to do it) would be to get
Sherlock plugins running with CPAN. Altho I haven't actually tried using it yet,
the Mac Python guys have done this with Python resources and it seems like a
really great idea (see bottom of page at
<http://www.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython.html>.
