Plese explain a little bit more detailed what you want to do, because it
didn'nt become clear for me.
Do you want to control Jmol in a similar way with Perl as the applet
with Javascript in a webpage? With Jmol and Perl running side by side
and exchanging data/commands?
Or do you just want to start Jmol with a set of commands with Perl, read
the results and, after Jmol is finished, process the results with Perl?
