It's been around for the whole life of MacPerl. There are workarounds and I'm sure
someone will point them out.
Personally I use the MPW tool version of MaPerl. It allows a full command line just as
you are used to. There is also a feature of MPW which is the ToolServer. You can make
up an MPW script as a text file which works just like a script on a UNIX platform. The
finder will respond to doubleclicking the text file by starting ToolServer which will
pass the command line to the perl tool.
MacOS exx will probably completely eliminate the problem.
