How do you kill an executing script?

[zaphro]

I'm trying to learn Perl using TextPad. I inadvertantly coded an endless loop and quickly discovered that I had no idea how to force the script to stop executing. I tried a few key combinations, but no luck. In desparation, I resorted to the old "three-finger salute" ploy and killed the TextPad process. Any suggestions in case this happens again? Don't know if it makes a difference, but I'm capturing the script output in TextPad.

thanks!

That's the magic bullet??? Sheesh... it's apparently the one combination I missed.

As they say in Germany, donkey shorts!
