Very cool!

Because we want to avoid that name.  "PerlScript" is the name used for
some ActiveState technology that only works on Windows.  See 
http://velocity.activestate.com/docs/ActivePerl/Components/Windows/PerlScript.html

The compromise with DC was to name these things "Script (Perl)" and
"Script (Perl, unrestricted)" instead.  I guess we can use
"ScriptPerl" as the internal name of the product.  But then the
directory name of the Python equivalent is "PythonScripts".

Agree.
