I agree!

We have a similar problem here where scripting PS would be extremely
helpful.  Our solution came in the form of using Frontier in conjunction
with Prefab Player ( http://www.prefab.com/ ).  I highly reccommend that
you take a look at it.  Although I haven't even explored hooking Perl into
Prefab Player yet.

Since Dave Winer went commercial with Frontier and is marketing it more as
a dynamic web development platform, it is quickly loosing its appeal as a
scripting and workflow automation tool for us.  That is why I am now
working diligently on porting as many of our useful Frontier scripts to
Perl.  At this point the only thing that I miss, is easy use of the glue
tables in Frontier that allow for easy IAC (especially to FMPro).  I am
planning on looking into Chris's FMPro glue for Perl here shortly.

cheers everyone!
