[oak perl] running scripts in a DOS window

There's also the option of using nice editors (like UltraEdit and many 
others, or even IDEs like <coff>lrnngcrv</coff> Eclipse+EPIC) that on a 
keystroke will run your script and display the output in a separate pane. 
Assuming, of course, that these are scripts you're working on rather than 
in production.

PS - I finally fired the powerful but wretched Pegasus and am taking on 
mail client interns, first candidate Eudora. Please let me know of any 
mailer missteps, format faux pas, garish gaffes, or other "modern" 
"features" I may be including without realizing it. I prefer wines huge and 
red, women substantial and mature, and mail *PLAIN* *TEXT*, dammit. Thank 
God for Ridge, my wife, and a mail client to be named later. And yes, I'm 
stuck with needing a Windows mailer even if I'd prefer to do everything on 
the FreeBSD boxes.
