I'm not sure I understand. This was done for the convenience of our
users. If MacPerl isn't running why should the user have to go and find
it and launch it first before sending a script to it to execute? That
is what computers are for. BBEdit knows where MacPerl is, and launches
it for you.

In BBEdit 6 there is a progress dialog that appears whenever a perl
script takes longer than 2 seconds. MacPerl gives me no reliable way to
cancel a script in progress. So the dialog goes up, and allows you to
switch to MacPerl and press command-. there which will terminate the
script.
