Try using the pbcopy and pbpaste UNIX tools provided with Mac OS neXt or
perhaps Open BSD,
You can shell out using a line like this
$theclipboard = `pbpaste`;
man pbcopy or man pbpaste in Terminal.app for more.

i have spent the entire day trying to figure out how to copy to the
system clipboard on the Mac OSX (darwin) non of the CPAN modules seems
to work for darwin. i have tried clipboard which is supposed to work
with most OSs but i get all sorts of errors that i have not been able
to resolve in hours and hours of attempts. i am just trying to use the
example code in the clipboard module which works fine for win32 but
nothing i can modify in the module gets it to work on Mac OSX.
i have also tried mac pasteboard but there is not PPM for it and i
could not get it installed myself.
anything else that might work? i am using TKx and need to copy from an
entry widget to other applications. no problems copying and pasting
with the app, it is the system clipboard that i need to copy to.
