I solved my problem.  It occurred to me that
the Perforce bundle

commands that use shell scripts have environment variables set in my

.bash_profile, but the commands that use Ruby scripts don't.  Adding

P4PORT, P4USER and P4CLIENT shell variables in  TextMate's Advanced

preferences did the trick.

I didn't get any replies to my earlier emails, which makes me wonder

if the Perforce bundle needs a maintainer.  If so, I would like to

volunteer.
