Hello everyone,

I have to run perl script from my cocoa app:

----CODE----
   NSMutableArray *arr      = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
   NSTask *firefoxCheckTask = [[[NSTask alloc] init] autorelease];

[firefoxCheckTask setLaunchPath:@"/usr/bin/perl"];
[arr
addObject:@"/Volumes/MyAppDMG/Installer.app/Contents/Resources/ firefoxCheck"];
[firefoxCheckTask setArguments:arr];
[firefoxCheckTask launch];
[firefoxCheckTask waitUntilExit];


   int statusCode = [firefoxCheckTask terminationStatus];
----END_OF_CODE----

If I run my application(Installer.app) from XCode, all works fine without
full path - I can run my perl script with relative path(something like
"Contents/Resources/firefoxCheck"). But if I run application directly from
Finder, it's working directory became "/". Thus I have to use hardcoded
absolute path.


I think, that it would be more flexible if I get Installer.app path. How can
I obtain it?

Pavel,
will the method [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:(NSString*) name] or [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForAuxiliaryExecutable:(NSString*) name] do the trick for you?
