Yeah, it should never do that unless kAECanInteract and kAECanSwitchLayer
are set, in which case MacPerl would switch to the front if necessary.  I
think.

Regardless, under Mac OS 8.5, you should be able to do a cmd-tab to switch
from BBEdit to get to MacPerl.  I use a cdev called LiteSwitch that is a
more fully-featured (but still lightweight) process-switcher, and I never
have problems switching to MacPerl from BBEdit when I forget to put a
#!perl at the top.
