Try this one line code:
do shell script "lsbom /Library/Receipts/BSD.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom"
Which lists the contents of the file Archive.bom in BSD.pkg

Good suggestion! lsbom is a really useful command! But can I trust
that the commands listed there are *NOT* installed by other Mac OS X
components?
I see that perl is not part of the BSD subsystem (apart from some
documentation and som editor support) so it is thus always available,
whereas python seems to require the BSD subsystem to be installed.
Good to know. Also, curl comes with BSD, which is important to know
for those considering that instead of URL AS.
