[Brisbane-pm] Double-click to launch Perl program in Mac OSX

[Martin Jacobs]

Hi folks,

How do I execute/launch a Perl program in Mac OSX with a double-click?

I'm developing a program called PERRMOSS.pl and it runs fine on WinXP  
and MacOSX.

In WinXP I have told WinXP to open .pl files with Perl.exe through  
windows explorer. Now, when I double-click on PERRMOSS.pl, it  
executes the program as it should.

MacOSX has a similar 'open with' protocol. The problem is that I cant  
find 'Perl' as a file or folder anywhere in Finder - the Mac  
equivalent of windows explorer (probably because MacOSX ships with  
Perl and it is embedded somewhere in the system).

Up to now I have been launching PERRMOSS.pl from the command prompt  
in Terminal.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Martin
