Well this has improved. It used to be very difficult to kill a MacPerl
task in progress. Now (I don't remember if this was 6.0+ or happened
before that) the progress dialog allows you to switch out to MacPerl,
nuke the script with command-., etc. It isn't ideal, but in the current
world of MacPerl and external editors, it is the best we can do.

Define what you mean by interactively please.
If there is some way the BBEdit/MacPerl integration isn't meeting your
needs, please let me know <[EMAIL PROTECTED] Copy me if it makes
you feel better :-). If there is a way we can improve it for you, we
can look at doing that. While we do use the perl integration in house,
we probably don't push it as hard as some of you do, so if there are
ways you think it could be better, let us know. If it doesn't strike
you as something that can be done, let us know anyway - there might be a
way.
