I would like some feedback, basically to see if the thing installs on
other computers than my own and if someone finds it useful.
I downloaded the source dmg, copied it to my home directory, and then
opened it up in project builder. It built fine, but stalled when
attempting to run the built application because of a missing perl
module:  Devel::Symdump
Yes, you need Devel::Symdump and IO::Scalar.

which installed without problem. Post that perl-pad looks like lots of
fun, but I can't get the command-shift-E execution to work, even in
those applications where it shows up within the services menu (eg
BBEdit; seems there's not many apps where command-shift-E is going to
survive). Is there an easy way to change the keyboard equivalent of
"Evaluate as Perl Command"?
You could change the Info.plist file somewhere in the PerlPad.app bundle.
It is pretty straightforward to do that.
You have to rebuild the service menu afterwards.
Please see the online help or PerlPad homepage for documentation about Add-On Services,
which gives some hints here (or just log out and log in again).

I wish Mac OS X had some preference panel to manage services and their keyboard shortcuts.

Thanks for trying it,

Thilo
