set scr to quoted form of "/usr/bin/perl /Volumes/Echo/Documents/.fun/myperlcode.pl"
do shell script scr
Fails complaining "no such file or directory"
The command works fine in a BBEdit worksheet or in Terminal.app.
Fails if presented as an osasrcipt.
Does AppleScript discriminate against hidden directories? The directory .fun has permissions set to 700, but I am the owner and executor of the "do shell script". The volume Echo has a case sensitive file system. I'm using OS 10.3.9 because I MUST be able to use my SE/30 file server for a few more years.
Do I need to "tell" someone what I want to do?
