You might want to instead eject the CD from the script.  This will eject
every CD whose name matches /Audio CD \d+/ (which should be all of them,
AFAIK).

Code from Alan Fry.

#!perl -w
use Mac::AppleEvents;
use Mac::Files;
my($volume, $alias, $evt, $rep) = MacPerl::Volumes();

foreach my $vol (MacPerl::Volumes()) {
  if ($vol =~ /:(Audio CD \d+)/) {
    $volume = $1 . ':';
    $alias = NewAliasMinimal $volume;

    $evt = AEBuildAppleEvent('fndr', 'ptwy',
      typeApplSignature(), 'MACS', 0, 0,
      q"'----':alis(@@)", $alias
    ) or die $^E;

    $rep = AESend($evt, kAEWaitReply()) or die $^E;

    AEDisposeDesc($evt);
    AEDisposeDesc($rep);
  }
}
