i'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but i have written a cocoa
app whose sole purpose is to use "plugin" scripts (could be perl, sh, etc.)
for processing files dropped on the app. i've been a bit distracted lately
by other projects, so it's only about 90% complete, but i could release it
soon. it will be freeware, but i'm not sure if i will make the source open
or not. when it's released, i may post an announcement to the list, but i
can send you an email if you want.
if you can't wait, or what i've written about doesn't sound like what
you're after, or you just want to diy, you should check out the "moriarity"
example project on the adc site, which shows how to wrap an arbitrary unix
command in a cocoa app. be aware, though, that there are a couple bugs in
it, which i think have been discussed in the list.
perl-objc bridge would be cool thing though!
