Yes - the reason I haven't done something like this is that the script
embedded in the source control app is (a) moderately big, (b) written
by others in the company years ago, (c) not designed to be reused.
And I naively believed that running an application from Perl would be easy!

But now I am reaching a level of frustration with AppleScript where
hacking the source control system on which my employer's survival
depends begins to seem like the more attractive option ...
