I now have MacPerl 5.0.7 installed and Applescript. What I would like to do from MacPerl is to tell GraphicsConverter to open a specific file, or Netscape to open a file or URL. Is this hard to do in Applescript? Is there an archive of sample MacPerl/Applescript programs? Maybe I should buy a book on Applescript. What books do you recommend? I've seen a book titled "The Tao of Applescript"? Any help is greatly appreciated.
