Save a script in BBEdit and then switch to MacPerl. -- modified 5:02
Make changes there and save them. -------------------- modified 5:03
Close the MacPerl document.
Close the BBEdit document. --------------------------- modified 5:04
Open the MacPerl document.
 -- The changes made in MacPerl are gone!

BBEdit changes the document on disk with what it thinks the document 
should be, without warning.

Usually BBEdit prompts you to save changes.

My brain hurts!
