On a Mac you can either add it to the Firefox.app directory itself,
normally /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/searchplugins, or
add it to your library directory in ~/Library/Application Support/
Firefox/Profiles/(some random characters).default/searchplugins.

1) As written: It simply does not happen that way.
2) I use something like that all the time, by piping the output
from a perl script into 'sh' or 'bash'.
perl generate_commands.pl input.txt | sh
The logic for generate_commands.pl is quite simple.
1) Use <> to read list of names, one line at a time.
2) Parse the input line to get the name of an input data file.
3) Come up with the name of an output file based on that.
4) Execute an external command, giving it the names of the
input data file and output file.
5) Execute a second external command.
6) Loop back to step 1 until end of list.
There are several ways to perform step 4:
my $results = `$command1 $in_file $out_file`;
or
my $error_code = system "$command1 $in_file $out_file";
warn "Something went wrong: $? ($!)" unless $error_code == 0;
or
print PIPE "$command1 $in_file $out_file\n";
The other steps are so trivial that you won't have any problem
finding them in any Perl tutorial.
That should be enough for you to write the script yourself. Good luck.
