IF we are talking AppleScript in OS X 10.3 then I have discovered
another option.
When you save your script, you have a few options, including --
Script
Application
Script Bundle
Application Bundle
Text
If you save the script as an Application Bundle, you can place your
perl script in the bundle structure and call it or use it as you see
fit.
To be more specific.
#!/usr/bin/perl
BEGIN {
chomp($ARGV [0] = <<'UnLiKeLyStRiNg');
your search string goes here, as is
UnLiKeLyStRiNg
chomp($ARGV [1] = <<'UnLiKeLyStRiNg');
your replace string goes here, as is
UnLiKeLyStRiNg
}
s/$ARGV [0]/$ARGV [1]/g;
save this to /path to myscript/Content/Resources/searchreplace.pl
Add something like this to the beginning of your script
set PathToMe to path to me as text
set PathToMeToo to (quoted form of POSIX path of PathToMe) as text
set PathToResources to PathToMeToo & "/Contents/Resources/"
call the perl script with
do shell script PathToResources & "your arguments"
Does this make any sense?

The general strategy for a good delimiter is like this:

your replace string goes here, as is

}
s/$search/$replace/g;
My other concern about this quoting method in the context of an
AppleScript do shell script command is that it is not consistent with
a one-line perl script....
