Also, closing the output window is not a necessary part of triggering the bug. However, if the output window is open, and you hit ctrl-d, the script will abort normally. But if you have closed the output window, you do not have this option to abort. You are stuck.
Sorry, I forgot to include this bit about the output window in the bug report I submitted on SourceForge. I think the most important element for list members is to remember that if you have a script running which is awaiting input from STDIN (through the console window), to abort the script you must hit cmd-. then ctrl-d or the script will never abort and cmd-opt-esc will be required to drop MacPerl so you can use it again.
