This is one way to do it:
on open these_items
repeat with this_item in these_items
set the_path to POSIX path of this_item
set result to do shell script "/Users/james/backatcha.pl \"" & the_path & "\""
display dialog result
end repeat
end open
Save as an application.
And /Users/james/backatcha.pl is:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "I got: $ARGV[0]";
Thank you very much for that suggestion -- it is just the sort of thing I was hoping for.
But I have a bug somewhere -- just a simple AS
do shell script "/Users/alanfry/Desktop/backatcha.pl"
results in the error:
...backatcha.pl:perl:bad interpreter:Permission denied
The script runs fine from the Terminal with the command 'perl' however. What am I missing?
