I have a little problem: I want to call a apple script out of perl: #!/usr/local/bin/perl &MacPerl'DoAppleScript(<<'END_SCRIPT'); tell application "FileMaker Pro" get record 1 of layout 0 end tell END_SCRIPT and I want to use the data out of the script within perl. I tried: print result; print $result; print $_; and nothing works! Any hint? mfg rudolf hommer (edv) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Rudolf Hommer ( hommer@afta-bw.de ) EDV-Gruppe Tel: +49 711 9063 256 Fax: +49 711 9063 299 Akademie fuer Technikfolgenabschaetzung in Baden-Wuerttemberg Industriestrasse 5; D-70565 Stuttgart-Vaihingen
