Announcement: PerlPad 0.1

[Thilo Planz]

Hi all,

I have been playing around with Camelbones a little and placed my results on SourceForge:

http://perl-pad.sourceforge.net/

It is a small Cocoa application that lets you run Perl from other apps using System Services.

You can
a) evaluate Perl code from any TextInput
b) process the current selection with some Perl code (nice to test some regex)
c) process the system pasteboard in the same way

You can also define buttons for your favorite Perl snippets and even create add-on services for the service menu.
The Perl environment provided is persistent (as long as the app stays alive), allowing you to share data between invocations and load custom Perl modules.

I would like some feedback, basically to see if the thing installs on other computers than my own and if someone finds it useful.

Since it is my first attempt at Cocoa and Interface Builder still confuses me a lot, I am not sure if the code itself can serve as example.
It does feature Services, access to the pasteboard, half of an NSBrowser and a dock menu.

Cheers,

Thilo
