[plug] Running a script to parse a script with args

[Trevor Phillips]

Thanks all for the ideas.  I wanted to do it without modifying my existing 
script too much, and avoid multiple scripts, or aliases.

After some experimentation, I came up with an even hackier solution - which 
works. ^_^

The start of my script now goes:

   #!/bin/sh
   /usr/bin/tail +4 $0 | /my/perl/script some args -
   exit;
   data

And it works great! (In a situation where it either does or doesn't work...)
