What are some decent perl Mac editors?
For my money, BBEdit is the best software investment I ever made.

I love emacs but it seems so far I am only able to run it under a terminal
window. I like how everything in Mac uses the same movement commands as
emacs.
BBEdit has a preference to "Use Emacs Key Bindings".
Is there anything I need to be aware of with using perl on a Mac? Should I
take the time to learn "apple script" what ever that is. I would rather
stick with my trusty perl :)
Apple Script is the tie into everything scripting language for the Mac, similar to Visual Basic for Windows. It's handy to know at times, mostly if you want to manipulate some pretty GUI program automatically. I wouldn't say I've ever had to know it though. Stick with Perl for now and then when you find yourself saying, "Now how would I just put this data straight in there, without importing a file," take a second glance at Apple Script.
