Mine aren't. The changes made in MacPerl are still there.

Are you _sure_ you didn't press cmd-S before you closed the BBEdit window?

It's been a nice theoretical, discussion folks, but the guy who tried 
it in Alpha and I both DO NOT see this problem (and I use BBEdit).

Open a new file in BBEdit
   #!perl
   open (FH, ">tmp");
cmd-S

Open the file in MacPerl, add a line
    print FH "foo\n";
cmd-S
cmd-W

switch to BBEdit
cmd-W

switch to MacPerl
Open the file
   #!perl
   open (FH, ">tmp");
   print FH "foo\n";

Wise words to live by in any case :-)

If you want to edit the same file nearly simultaneously in MacPerl 
and BBEdit, that's what the Edit menu in MacPerl is for...

Alternatively:

More wise words (but I use BBEdit :-)

Why are you switching back and forth without at least telling the 
apps to talk to each other?  An accidental cmd-S in either app 
without refreshing the buffer will mess everything up!
