I wonder if we'll actually have to add "~/Library/Scripts" to our $PATH variable?

Apologies to those who have read this unanswered question on MACSCRPT.

I read in half a dozen places that it is possible to run a perl script from the Script Menu, but no one has yet provided me with evidence that this is possible. I see that Chris N (see below) said nine months ago that it was possible, so perhaps Chris or someone else can tell me how.

This script will should create a file and will do so when run in the shell, from BBEdit or in a shell script

#!/usr/bin/perl
open F, '>/private/tmp/junk.txt';

In Scriptmenu, provided I have the shebang line, no matter what I name the script, the script is shown in the menu with the P icon, but the script does not create the file or do anything. It makes no difference whether I change line endings, change permissions or what not. So far as I know I have done everything I possibly could to get the thing to work and as things stand I can only assume that everyone has simply been repeating an assertion without providing any evidence.

Please can someone provide me with evidence that a perl script can be run from the menu, with or without a quick filck of the wrist.
