Yeah.  MacPerl also has Mac::Glue, a sorta AppleScript in Perl 
framework:

   use Mac::Glue;
   my $finder = new Mac::Glue 'Finder';
   $finder-move( $finder-obj(alias = $folder),
  to = $finder-prop('Trash')
   );

Or one of my favorites:  :)

   $interarchy-edit( path = $rpath, host = $host, user = $user );
   $bbedit-compare( $bbedit-obj(window = 1), $lpath );

When we get Carbon running on Mac OS X, I'll be porting Mac::Glue, too.


 In Mac OS X Perl, use /usr/local/bin/osascript, man osascript for 
 info on how to use it and send the data to it from the Perl script.
 
 Is there any other ways?

There's a MacPerl module for Mac OS X with a similar interface to the 
MacPerl module in MacPerl, whish uses osascript.

Applescript call from Perl

[Brad Rice]

How do you call Applescript from Perl? I want to make a CGI that runs an 
applescript.

Can ACGI run with Apache? I thought you needed to have webstar or 
another Mac Classic web server to use that.

 Hi, Brad:

 Why not just write the CGI in APppleScript? If written as an ACGI, it 
 can be
 pretty efficient. The other possibility is to use the system() function 
 in
 Perl to do what you feel you need to use AS forjust a thought.
