Understood.  Which is why I am freely tossing around examples for all to
share.  :-)

I have an article forthcoming in The Perl Journal which should help explain
all this stuff ... but it has been delayed until the Winter issue (December
:-p).

Speaking of AEs ... Matthias, has AppleEvents.pm been tested under Mac OS
8?  I have heard of some software having difficulty with AEs under Mac OS
8, especially when dealing directly with the Finder.

(I didn't seem to get the original message here ...)

Well, I don't have a copy of the international version.  Never got around
to it.  I would go out and get it now and test with it, but I'm not sure
how much I want to spend in time on 2.6.3(i) until I find out how long it
will be until a scriptable 5.0 freeware version will be available.

When I have time, I have a half dozen or so changes to make to all my
modules; this one is on my list.
