That way, if you want to create a new perl script, just ⌘N and enter pl⇥ and you have both the proper shebang and the file type automatically set (giving syntax highlight and an appropriate file name extension when saving).

Ok, I see the point of this nice feature, but I wonder why this Perl pl⇥ snippet will be executed and not "my" pl⇥ (since I set the grammar to "my" grammar in beforehand). I thought if you create a tmCommand (or similar), set to a specific grammar source.foo that all keybindings etc. have the priority over "the more general" ones.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Good to know :)
