setfile -c Suck `files ‰.pl`
setfile -c Suck `files ‰.pm`

These two MPW commands will change the creator signature of the files to
that of shuck. It seems to me that they ought to be delivered that way!
After the change you can double click them to bring up Shuck. The MacPerl
application or tool doesn't care.

The S above is a Greek capital sigma. It's best to copy and paste the
creator signature from a Resedit "get file info" on the Shuck application.
That way you don't have to worry about the 8 bit symbols.

Printing is another question.
Nisus or MSWord will open the files. Perhaps someone has a perl script to
remove the stuff that Shuck doesn't display. Simply removing the returns
will permit Mac word processors to wrap text the way you want it.
