 I used it in 7.5.x... but this thing is more advanced, and finally a
non-beta. =)

Allow me to elaborate. =)

I think that it's somewhat cool that I'll have a script menu like this at 
my disposal.  Who knows how much I'll use it, but I like the idea.

What I think is really /extra/ cool is that it's one more way Apple is 
bringing Perl into the mainstream of its OS.  And a fairly visible way, 
at that.  Notice that there's no Java script menu. ;-)

I've been using something like that in Mac OS 8/9 for years, OSA Menu.  
The only problem was that I need to wrap a Perl script in a compiled 
AppleScript (or other OSA Script), but I wrote a MacPerl droplet with 
Mac::OSA::Simple to do that, so no worries.

I'll probably install Mac OS X 10.1 anyway.  ;-)

It worked! I knew if I said, "I'm planning to write 
such-and-such software," it would turn out that someone's 
already done it. Never fails to happen to me. :-)

Have you seen /usr/bin/pbcopy /usr/bin/pbpaste? It would be simple
enough to open a pipe to them.
