You might need a semicolon after the print, But it is the last line between {}s 
so whonoze?

Apple thinks UNIX users are out to destroy their machines.

Others, in the SciTech area, have reported that  many UNIX executables have 
been moved from /usr/bin/ to something like /usr/share/bin/... though Apple 
itself uses perl so perhaps not.

Check which perl top see if a usable perl is found with your $PATH and your 
path might not be what you think when calling from within bbedit.
