That's not necessary, you can have the script itself do all that and
never need to see BBEdit at all. If all you want is a droplet that
converts line-endings in files dropped on it then that's a piece of
cake.
What would be more interesting is an AS droplet that would act as
DropScript does, creating a new droplet with the perl routine loaded,
with the added features that it can stay open and that it knows where
it is. That doesn't sound too difficult. I haven't really the time,
but I'll see what I can come up within the next hour or two.
