Re: [MacPerl] macperl::DoAppleScript Doesn't Problem solved & lesson learned

[Eric Rainey <eric_rainey@wgbh.org>]

The problem is outlined in the code below.  The lesson I learned is twofold=
=3D
: 1: adequate error response from the system (which I never really did get,=
=3D
 just vague responses like "applescript error"
2: dot yer t's and cross yer i's

Now if I can just figure out how to script the IDE to switch targets...but =
=3D
that's a problem for another day and list!

Thanks to everyone for their help.

The problem is here, $project_path should be in quotes since perl is interp=

olating the variable, not passing it (duh!).
