That isn't right.  That should only happen if you specify RETOBJ => 1 as a
parameter, or do $glue->RETOBJ(1).

You can do this to get the Right Thing, if you have specified RETOBJ:

  print $selection->get;

If you are not calling RETOBJ yourself, what version of Mac::Glue do you have?

You can look at the REPLY, but the get method is better.  It massages the
data as necessary for you.
