Hi David,

WetMogwai's problem has to do with installation, if you do not  
experience that problem, the following should work out of the box:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use Mac::Growl qw(:all);

RegisterNotifications(__PACKAGE__, ['test'], ['test']);
PostNotification(__PACKAGE__, 'test', 'test', 'hello world');

exit 0;

Documentation:

#Locally
% perldoc Mac::Growl

Or: http://search.cpan.org/~cnandor/Mac-Growl/lib/Mac/Growl.pm
