I feel obligated to mention that this is less-than-portable from Mac to
Mac.  Because it does rely on an OSAX, said OSAX would have to move along
with the code.  In addition, the installation of an OSAX is not completely
trivial.  In order for the OSAX to be useful, something must be done to
cause AppleScript to load the OSAX into memory.  This isn't hard, basically
just compile an AppleScript - although MacPerl might do this when it
executes "DoAppleScript"?
