Searching through my old messages from the mailing list, I found the

I want to use MacPerl to drive two other applications using AppleEvents.
Essentially, telling AOL to read my mail, having Perl clean it up so it 
resembles real mail again and then either pass it directly to Eudora or
forward it via an SMTP mail server.

On AppleEvents:

My limited understanding suggests that the Dev:AEVT:FOOB format is
useful when MacPerl is responding to AppleEvents sent to it.

Will the new architecture allow for the generic handling - arbitrary
sending/receiving - of AppleEvents?


On Internet Config:

Is there a straightforward interface for communicating with Internet 
Preferences or the IC Extension to extract preferences for various 
internet servers?  (Other than directly accessing the relevant ICRP
resources.)
