In addition to Matthias' Cookbook, which is very helpful, you can look at
my MacPGP.pm, available on CPAN in /authors/Chris_Nandor/ and
/modules/by-module/Mac/.  I did a lot of work with AppleEvents in there
(using Matthias' work in large part as a basis).  Note especially the
subroutines _MpgpAe* and _MpgpB*.  Those do most of the AE processing.

Of course, it would help if you had/used MacPGP 2.6.3, but that is not
necessary to get the gist of what's going on.
