Hi all, Been lurking for a while, learning from all the MacPerl pros on the list. Thanks a bunch. The volumes of stuff I've been reading about Perl are all UNIX based, so drag and drop is non-existent in these texts. If I want to parse a tab delimited text file by dropping that file on a Perl app, how do I get my script to take its input from the file we drop on it? Discussion of STDIN abounds, but I have to admit I'm a bit stumped on how to do this using drag and drop. Any pointers to MacPerl docs would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance .... Drew
