#ifndef PUDGE
#define PUDGE

	char msg[] = "The facility you require has been
		      implemented by Chris Nandor.";

#endif

	printf("%s",msg);

... which is a long-winded and syntactically incorrect way of saying that,
like everything else you can think of, Chris has this one covered. Go to:

	http://pudge.net/

and click on the "Perl and Mac Software and links" link (yeah, I could just
give you the URL for the page directly, which is
<http://pudge.net/macperl/> but then you wouldn't get to enjoy Chris's
frames with the strange elvish scrawls at the bottom). The module you want
is, surprisingly enough, called Mac::Apps::Launch.
