[MacPerl] GUSI, etc.

[bmelvin@gbnintl.com (Bill Melvin)]

Hello all.
New to this list and relatively new to PERL so I have some easy questions.
Have been developing Perl apps for the Mac and UNIX with MacPerl 513r2 and
BBEdit.

B/c I wanted to stay pretty portable I stayed away from Mac-specific libs
like GUSI, etc.
The resulting apps have been sort of DOS-ish but they got the job done.

What I would like to do now is use standard get/put file dialogs along with
the standard  MacPerl::Ask() type functions, but I can't seem to find the
libs to make this happen.

So, my questions
1 ) Where does one get a copy of GUSI.ph suitable for use WITHOUT the MPW?
2 ) Also, what about: StandardFile.pl, FindFolder.pl and CommConnect.pl?

I checked CPAN and ftp.switch.ch both to no avail.

3 ) Why can't I build a $list=" 'Option 1' , 'Option 2' "; to pass to
MacPerl::Ask('Select from this list',$list)?
I've tried putting a \ before the single-quotes, etc. and the result is
still just one option that looks like 'Option 1', 'Option 2'.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bill
