I added this with some slight modifications. You didn't diff against the
latest version so I had to fix up a few thigns that changed with a patch
Stefan applied ;)
I also modified the execute perl launcher to look like
+ String[] newcmd = new String[cmd.length + 3];
+ newcmd[0] = "perl";
+ newcmd[1] = antRun;
+ newcmd[2] = commandDir.getAbsolutePath();
+ System.arraycopy(cmd, 0, newcmd, 3, cmd.length);
rather than
+
+ String[] newcmd = new String[cmd.length + 2];
+ newcmd[0] = "perl " + antRun;
newcmd[1] = commandDir.getAbsolutePath();
System.arraycopy(cmd, 0, newcmd, 2, cmd.length);
because as far as I know the second will not work properly (at least in a
cross platform way) as the first argument will be treated as an executable.
So in effect if you tried to execute "ls -l", the underlying OS would look
for executable of form "perl ls" and pass it a single argument of "-l" which
is not the behaviour I would expect ;)
Other than that it seems fine. Can you download and check it - thanks!

WIll wait most eagerly for the documentation ;)
