 Ah, ignore me.  I was just taking the opportunity to note that we have
 something similar in Mac OS 9, and that I don't want to use Mac OS X.  ;)

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

  It's a system-wide script menu for 10.1 that runs AppleScript, Perl,
  and Shell scripts.
 
  Hmm...

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.  ;-)

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. ;-)

 Hmm...

Now I just need to write that Perl module to read and write the 
pasteboard
