 “What I might try is installing my beloved UltraStudio via CrossOver.”

You may not need to do all that: UltraEdit for Mac :)

Just looking quickly at the screenshots (which seem nice) and reading the features you may also want to try BBEdit which has many similarities (ie: projects, built in ftp, svn support and extensive search capabilities with the option of using grep) and has a long history on the Mac with a good mailing list.

Have fun!

    I'll check BBEdit out. Thanks for the tip!

    One other idea that occurred vis-a-vis perl & xcode is: 
    set output to do shell script "<somehow get the name of my perl script
+ and any args here>"

    [download]
    i.e. Disguise perl proj's as applescript projects with a simple applescript to run the actual perl and grab the output.

    I am having fun right enough. Maybe too much!

      These should help:

      * FYI: Executing Perl scripts from within Cocoa applications built in XCode IS possible. You would create a new project, add a new file, then under 'Other' select 'Shell Script' (not 'pure' Perl). However, even if you *only* plan to use AppleScript for your Cocoa app, this is a pretty top heavy approach.

      Apologies for not being more clear earlier.

      UPDATE
