i am trying to use variables defined in perl
in an apple script in the perl code
some thing like this

data received from html post

$name=answer

&MacPerlDoAppleScript(<<convert)
tell application"clip2gif"
activate
open{file,filename blah: blah: blah:Picture&$number($number as string)}with 
batch conversion
 end tell
convert

print",img src=\"/blah/blah/Picture\"$number\".gif<p>/n";

but it wont use the variable defined in perl
How do i get around this?
