Something like this could be written in theory (a MacPerl extension to
write control strips in Perl), but to my knowledge has not been.

I do this:

  #!perl -w
  use Mac::Apps::Launch;
  SetFront('MACS');  # I want the Finder to be in front during all this
  LaunchApps([qw(R*ch CSOm MOSS Arch rlfT NIFt …uck NNTP)]);

This won't work properly if you need to do it by path instead of by creator
ID.  However, Mac::Apps::Launch helps there, too:

  LaunchSpecs([$path1, $path2]);

Mac::Apps::Launch is on CPAN, and comes with the cpan-mac distribution.
