What do you want? GUSI, GUI, or the simple dialog functions?

from MacPerl.specifics (which is included with the MacPerl Application archive)

	4. MACPERL SPECIFIC LIBRARIES

	StandardFile.pl		Calls for standard file dialogs. A very
				convenient front end for &MacPerl'Choose()

If a user selects cancel, you probably get an empty or undefined value.
Test it and see what happens. I do not understand what you mean by using
