[MacPerl] Mac::Glue?

[Brian McNett <webmaster@mycoinfo.com>]

This WAS going to be a question, but I figgured it out just before 
posting:

I'm trying to better automate my email.  I'm using a LEGACY version of 
Claris Emailer (pre 2.0... Don't Laugh, it's paid for!), so it's rather 
short of the scriptability side vs. later versions.  Of course a legacy 
version of an orphaned program isn't something most people will have much 
interest in, but I prefer it to say Outlook Express, or Eudora.

So, I'm tooling up to use Mac::Glue.  I have an example AppleScript:

tell application "Claris Emailer 1.1v3"
	
	set listvar to {}
	set listvar to get accounts
	get listvar
	
end tell

Which returns my two primary accounts (all the others reflect their mail 
to one of these two, so I don't access them directly).

Now, in Mac::Glue, I do:

#!perl -w
use strict;
use Mac::Glue;
my $obj = new Mac::Glue 'Claris_Emailer_1_1v3';
my @raw_accounts = $obj->get_accounts();
print "{'$raw_accounts[0]', '$raw_accounts[1]'}";

Which isn't exactly identical, but it gets the job done.  I've added some 
jiggery-pokery to make the output look similar, otherwise it could be 
much less verbose on the Perl side.

Since I've already answered my own question, new question...

Carefully reading through the generated POD, I come up with:

$obj->connect_to(TEXT, [checking => bool, sending => bool])	

		Connect to service or account and transfer mail (MMan/Conn)

		Reply type: null

		Parameters:

		    direct object (----): The service or account to connect to
		    checking (pChk): True to get messages from the specified service or 
account
		    sending (pSen): True to send messages to the specified service or 
account

Okay, I'm pretty sure how this works for one account, but how then do I 
connect to both (all) accounts?

BTW, Chris:  Great job. Even if it is still in beta, the fact that I can 
get as far as I have with it (given my peculiar combination of genius and 
cluelessness), says a lot for the hard work you've put into Mac::Glue.
