Just a quick thanks for all the hard work you do for MacPerl.  Thanks!

Do we want to recognize the AppleScript line continuation character?  It
might not be terribly necessary, but there could be instances where people
are reading in scripts that have it.  I'm going to type it in in quotes,
and hope it doesn't get too mangled by mailers "Â".  I assume the AS
compiler recognizes it by ASCII value - but that might not be true.  If so,
it's 194.
