[MacPerl] MacPerl not waiting for AS?

["Dan Gjøske Petersen" <webmaster@continental.dk>]

I have a script that is supposed to analyse text from a Quark document. In
order to get my hands (or rather MacPerls hands) on the text in the first
place, I run a little AppleScript right from the start of the script. It
simply collects the combined stories of the Quark document and returns them
to a scalar in MacPerl.
This works fine for smaller docs, but when I tried it on a 64 page doc with
some 15.000 words, MacPerl dropped dead in the middle of the process.

Later I tested the AS from the Script Editor and it turned out that it
needed about 80 seconds to collect the stories.
Could this be the problem? And is there a way to deal with it?

Regards,
dan
