[MacPerl] Controlling File Visibility and Dialog for Getting a Folder Path

[Darryl Tang <darryl@yoshisonline.com>]

Hello there,

I'm writing some MacPerl scripts that need a folder path as a variable so
that I can manipulate the items within the folder.  I'd like to create a
dialog similar to:

	 $gfile = StandardGetFile(0,0);

that will allow the user to select a folder instead of a file.  Does anyone
know how to put a dialog box that will allow the selection of a folder?

Second, is there a way to control whether or not a file is visible or not?
I'd like to search my hard drive to see which files are invisible.  I'd
also like to change a file's visibility status from MacPerl.  I couldn't
find anything in my Power and Ease book or the MacPerl manual pages.

Thanks for any help!

Darryl Tang
