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.
