I hope so, I've been using it on 8.5.1 for a long time now.  :)

Hm.  The following here does nothing?

  #!perl -w
  $script = 'display dialog "foo"';
  MacPerl::DoAppleScript($script);

That is odd.  You might have a broken MacPerl app or something.  I've never
had a problem with anything like that.  I'd try to get a new copy of the
MacPerl app installed.  Maybe someone else has an idea.
