Would it be possible to create a generic AE object?

My initial thoughts are for the module to create separate methods for each
event. Each method would take whatever necessary parameters, figure out
whatever other info it needs and passes all these info to the generic AE
obj which does the actual generating and sending of AE.

Thus, I can do

$f = new Mac::Glue::Finder;
$f->open_about_box();
$f->copy_to ('Path_to_Folder_receiving_copies', 'Path_to_File1',
'Path_to_File2');
$f->duplicate ('Path_to_File1', 'Path_to_Folder1');
$f->duplicate (@ARGS);
$f->empty_trash();

and so on.

Hope I didn't make your head hurt some more ... :-).
