I've been toying around with the MacPerl OSA component to find a way to use Perl from within a FaceSpan application. I haven't found a way yet. The most elegant solution would be to save the Perl stuff as a compiled script and later call it with "run script sc with parameters {...}". Apparently this isn't possible yet -- or am I missing something? Also, it would be great if arguments and return values were automagically converted: lists <-> arrays, records <-> assoc arrays, aliases/file specs <-> paths, ... If anyone can give me a start on how to add this functionality I'll have a look at it. It might well go beyond my abilities, though. Michael
