Have try with the commant 'wait' but macperl doesn't accept

The script is below

\Claes

#!perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

$test='HD850:Pub:test2.sps';
$out='HD850:Pub:test2.sps Output';


   Get the input
   read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});

    Split the name-value pairs
   @pairs = split(/&/, $buffer);

   foreach $pair (@pairs) {
      ($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);

      $value =~ tr/+/ /;
     $value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;

      $FORM{$name} = $value;
   }

$synt=$FORM{'synta'};



open(SYNTAX,">$test");
print SYNTAX "$synt";
close(SYNTAX);





MacPerl::DoAppleScript(<<END_SCRIPT);
tell application "Finder"
        activate
        select file "test2.sps" of folder "Pub" of startup disk
        open selection using file "SPSS Production Mode" of folder "SPSS
6.1" of folder "Program" of startup disk
end tell
END_SCRIPT


open(INPUT,"$out") || die "error in perl";
print "<html><title>SPSS Results</title>\n";
print "<pre>\n";
print <INPUT>;
print "</pre></html>\n";

close(INPUT);
