Ditto.  The one test of Larry's that actually failed seems to be due to a 
newline in the wrong place.  Switches behave as expected for MacPerl 
under BBEdit.

However, many people still aren't aware of which switches MacPerl 
supports and which it doesn't.  Some switches will fail the syntax check, 
other will pass, but fail at runtime.  I'm going to rope Larry into 
assisting me with an article on the topic. :-)
