I'm not actually sure what a 'toolbox module' is. I use MacPerl typically to search really large files for text strings of various sorts. I've occasionally messed with applescript via MacPerl and vice versa. I've used some of the MacPerl-specific dialogs to elicit the search string or file name as well. Did I use a toolbox module inadvertantly by doing any of that? Mike H.
