[MacPerl] Launch Mac app from MacPerl?

[Greg Dunn <gregdunn@indy.net>]

I'm writing a MacPerl script to automate some file maintenance 
stuff that I'm doing -- and also to strengthen my grasp of the 
language.  I'm using the latest MacPerl on my PowerMac 8100 and 
9500 machines.  Both are running System 8.0.

I've scoured the sample scripts and documents, and visited the 
MacPerl and PTF web sites, but I'm unable to find a suggested way 
to launch a Mac application from MacPerl; even the Apple event 
docs aren't very helpful.  I don't want to run an AppleScript 
(I'm replacing a couple of AppleScripts with a Perl script 
already!)  and it's OK if the Perl script quits as the subsequent 
app launches.  I could swear I've seen a script fragment that 
launches a Mac app, but I can't find it now.

Can anyone point me to a source of examples, or a place in the 
docs where I can read more about this?
