It is possible to use MPW's Toolserver application to do the kind of thing
you want. The procedure will be to create an MPW script as a file and launch
Toolserver with a pointer to that script. It's possible to send high level
events as signals.

Toolserver can be on another Macintosh if you like, but on one machine it
will not reenter the copy of the perl tool that's already in core under MPW.
You'll get another copy.

It's not very cross-platform coding though.

MkLinux is available through www.ptf.com. It ought to fork things up the way
you want.
