I used to use BBEdit instead of CW's editor; now I use BBEdit instead of
MPW's editor. :-)  I still use Metrowerks' compilers -- I just got tired of
their IDE and proprietary project file format that kept changing.

I've been writing Perl scripts to manage my C++ development in MPW.  I have
automatically updating dependencies for dmake (never touched Apple's Make),
but I plan to replace that with Perl scripts as well.  I'll probably set up
ToolServer one of these days so I can compile within using Perl instead of
MPWsh (pronounced 'impish'), :-) and eventually I'll replace MPW with my
own front-end.  Blessed is he who builds his own tools (for obvious
reasons).

At work, I've written a utility that will accept command-line options or
query with dialog boxes as appropriate.  I initially used MPW to develop
it, but it's deployed (and maintained) as a droplet (which is good because
it takes a file as an argument).

For truly hard-core Perl work (like writing my own MUSH) I use perl on my
Linux box.
