I waited and just grabbed the latest 5.10a3 release. Thank you for a
wonderful piece of work. I love the Mac::* modules. Using AppleEvents
directly to communciate with FileMaker is certainly much more efficient.
The only thing I'm missing is some skeleton docs or examples. Would you
happen to have some test scripts (besides the very simple one included in
the distribution)?
