When I run a CGI script I get a window that says "This program relays MacHTTP search AppleEvents to MacPerl. It will terminate after 5 minutes of inactivity". Does anyone else get this? Is this normal? How do I stop it from appearing? Why does MacPerl hang like this when run? I tried running &MacPerl'Quit(0), and embedding a "tell application MacPerl/quit/end tell" in the &MacPerl'DoAppleScript string I use to launch the application I want to exec, but neither work. Thanks, Erin BTW I just tried the eval() suggestion someone made [I used eval "&MacPerl'DoAppleScript(\$script)";], but the result was the same.
