I believe, and please straighten me out on this if I'm wrong, that could be
achieved through use of GTK.  I mean, I have heard of people using the GIMP,
so GTK makes sense...  Other than that, not really.  And also, to my
knowledge, no one has successfully ported the Tk module for Perl yet either.
(Though I'm still hacking away at it)

Ironically, with as much glee as I cast aside MacPerl, I find myself
thinking about AppleScript again....

The easy answer is no, I believe.

BUT - \<Assumption\> You're not going to want to port your PERL code since
you're using AppleScript in the first place \<\/Assumption\>
You could use backtics & make shell calls to 'open', which can execute a
precompiled script.

BBEdit is THE editor.  In the shell, vim & emacs, what else would you need?

Here's a review that I wrote recently:

No more than normal.  ;)
Darwin is BSD.
