[MacPerl] Folder actions

[Vicki Brown <vlb@cfcl.com>]

Here's the deal:

We have a server (Mac OS 8.5) with shared volumes. Among those is a shared
volume containing drop boxes (folders) for everyone in the company (it's a
small company ;-)

A user has asked if there is a way that she can be notified when a file is
dropped into her drop box.

The answer should be yes... but I am at a loss as to the implementation. It
probably involves AppleScript :-)

The server runs OS 8.5 so Folder Actions are enabled (cute idea, that :-).
It's "my" server so MacPerl is installed. Eudora is site-licensed so I can
install Eudora on this machine if that is necessary to get the notification
sent to the user. Eudora appears to be quite scriptable.

Hints, suggestions, code snippets, discussion, or viable solutions all
accepted graciously.

- Vicki
