[sf-perl] perl on a mac

[Walt Sanders]

Thanks much, I will play with these suggestions.  Have to leave just  
now, but later.

Isn't there a nice editor for the Mac that will run perl browser style  
within the editor?  Had a nice one on my PC (DZSoft, a russian  
product) that worked beautifully.  Really miss the convenience of that  
program.

Walt.
