Well, this is the AppleScript users list and the question was for an AppleScript solution. Personally I wouldn't know where to start with a "command line wrapper around a Perl module" and I wouldn't suggest shell scripts or terminal scripts or Perl modules when there's a perfectly good AppleScript solution.



my philosophy is that if you're comfortable writing code then a command line tool should be pretty easy.

I'm not sure that philosophy is shared by everyone on this list. The AppleScript philosophy, in part, is that you should be able to learn one scripting language to control a multitude of Applications and technologies.


Also, it's a pet peeve of mine when AppleScript is referred to as "code". By definition the word "code" implies a communication that is designed to be understood by a select group. That may describe Perl and other scripting and programming languages, but not AppleScript!

: )

Yes, but almost no one understands Applescript, in comparison to the other languages.
