I use nedit too and a very similar macro (bind to ctrl+shift+P :) However may I suggest that you'd better use

use warnings;
[download]

rather than

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
[download]

which has the undesirable side-effect to enable warnings in modules you use, and some really can't stand it (CGI.pm for instance).
BTW here's my macro, which uses "which" to determine the path to perl :

set_language_mode( "Perl" )
myperl=shell_command( "which perl" , "" )
insert_string("#!" myperl "\n\nuse strict;\nuse warnings;\n")
set_cursor_pos(100)

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
