Sorry, no cool snippets. I basically use it for s/// loops when I'mforced to edit text outside of Emacs (e.g. editing this reply). WhenI installed it, I honestly expected to use it more than I have.

Update: Actually, I have found a use for it. This little nasty in ~/Library/PerlPad/startup.pl lets me use Emacs to edit PM posts:

#!/usr/bin/env perl use File::Temp 'tempfile'; register_function 'emacsify', q{ my ($fh, $f) = tempfile; print $fh $_; close $fh; open OSA, "|osascript " or die $!; my $osa = <<EOS; -- set theapp to path to frontmost application as string tell application "Emacs" to activate do shell script "emacsclient '$f'" -- tell application theapp to activate EOS print OSA $osa; close OSA or die $!; open IN, "$f"; unlink $f; undef $/; $_ = <IN>; close IN; s/^(.{70,80})\n/$1/gm; $_; }; 1;
