[sf-perl] perl on a mac

[Walt Sanders]

Thanks Kevin.  This makes it just a little bit neater.  Now if I could  
somehow get my Coda or TextMate to run the programs like Terminal  
does, I would be 100% operational.  Just can't see how to make these  
clients similarly interpret the perl to produce and open an .html  
file.  If anyone knows how to do that, I'm buying the beers!
