Re: [MacPerl] Perl launching an Applescript

[pudge@pobox.com (Chris Nandor)]

The simplest way is probably to just put your AppleScript into a variable
and run it from inside MacPerl.  The only slowdown really is in the
compilation time, which can vary on machines.

#!perl
$script = <<EOS;
tell application "Finder"
        play audio cd
end tell
EOS
&MacPerl::DoAppleScript($script);
__END__
