There's no doubt about it.
How can a running AppleScript ask - er tell - perl (OS neXt) or MacPerl (OS 9) to run a one liner which accesses the regular expression processor and returns a result as a record containing $1, $2, . . as a hash available for later use in the AppleScript?
perl as an OSAX?
