Well I got two good answers, but I still have one problem.

yep. I was still playing in debug land, and as soon as I ended with an exit 0
   mutt knew perl was done.

I tried that, and now knowing what to look for tried several others:

macro pager T "<pipe-message>/home/hck/bin/take.pl<enter><enter-command>source 
$HOME/.muttrc\n"  

macro pager T "<pipe-message>/home/hck/bin/take.pl\n<enter-command>source 
$HOME/.muttrc\n"  

macro pager T "| $HOME/bin/take.pl\n:source $HOME/.muttrc\n"  

These including useing single quotes, But each time when I return to mutt it 
   asks: "create ource/u04/hck/.muttrc? ([y]/n)"  $HOME is /u04/hck So mutt is 
   executing 's' (save) ource/u04/hck/.muttrc which does not exist, so
   it asks. Has anyone seen this before?
