[MacPerl] Runtime aete Questions

[Richard Gordon <gordon@mindspring.com>]

I created a runtime version of a MacPerl script and then took a look at the aete
dictionary to see how to communicate with it via AppleScript from another
application. It appears to be the same aete resource that is in the regular
MacPerl app and I'm a little puzzled about this. The dictionary defines Do
Script as:

"Do Script string  -- Script to execute"

Since the runtime app's name and the script's name are the same,does this mean
that I use something like:

tell app "myScript"
do script "myScript"
end tell

or am I missing something here?

Also, I noticed that Do Script event includes:

"[preprocess boolean] -- if true, send script through C preprocessor."
"[mode Local/Batch/Remote/Duplex] -- mode (local, batch, remote, duplex)."

I didn't think that Perl could be preprocessed on a Mac- if it can, how do you
do this? And what is all this mode stuff about?

Thanks.
