Hello People,
I need some help with a perl on OS-X problem. I need to pop up a 'Save As' dialog. Basically the same as the one AppleScript gives you when you:
choose file name with prompt "Select a location to save this file" default name "Name"
but I need to do this from perl. At first I thought it might be simple:
$file = `osascript -e 'choose file name with prompt "test1" default name "test2"'`;
but that gives me: 0:57: execution error: No user interaction allowed. (-1713)
So next I used CPAN module Mac::AppleScript and I don't get any reply at all:
RunAppleScript(qq(choose file name with prompt "test1" default name "test2"));
But I figure that somewhere in all this there must be a way to pop up such a dialog directly from perl.
How?
Thanks and Cheers! Rick
