If BBEdit can be driven via AppleScript, you should also be able to use Mac::Glue to drive it. Or, you could run your AppleScript with the "osascript" tool.
That got me on the right track -- to the extent that this is already working:
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use Mac::AppleScript::Glue; use LWP::Simple; print "Enter URL:\n -> "; my $URL = <STDIN> || die "$!";
getstore( $URL, "/path/to/tempfile.html" ) || die;
my $BB = new Mac::AppleScript::Glue::Application('BBEdit')
|| die "$!";my $results =
$BB->check_syntax(
file => "path:to:tempfile.html" )
|| die "$!";foreach my $item ( @{$results} ) {
print 'Line '
. $item->{'result_line'} . ': '
. $item->{'message'} . "\n";
}I don't quite understand the results data that's coming back from the Glue object, but the basics are already there. Of course if it was going to be a CGI script there's a lot of other stuff to do but the concept is proven at least.
