in reply to Writing/Running Perl on OS X 10.4, Tiger

If you're a Unix guy then a vi or emacs variant will do the job with appropriate extensions.

If you're more of a Mac guy then TextWrangler is pretty good, as is Smultron if you switch off the evil metal look :-)

    Smultron seems to suit my purposes, but how can I hotkey it to run my perl straight from the editor?

      My bad. I thought Smultron had this functionality, but my memory was obviously playing tricks on me. Sorry.

      (Since it is open source you could always write a patch of course :-)

      TextWrangler (currently my default OS X editor) definitely does allow this. The "Run" option of the "#!" menu can be bound to a hotkey using the "Set menu keys" option of the "TextWrangler" menu.
