Basically because I don't understand octave.app.

I am not doing a lot of Octave programming these days, but I use it  
constantly. I typically call Octave from a Perl script:

   ## Compute "Octave/Output/spdrPortf39T_shyB_26.csv"
   print "Computing Sharpe-optimal portfolios\n";
   `octave "$maindir/Octave/m/$octavescript"`;
   print "'Octave/Output/$octaveoutput' has been written\n";

I don't understand how octave.app would work in this connection.
