I meant Perl hadn't got any routines for GUI, but I knew that it is possible
to execute AppleScript commands (and through appleScript it would be
possible to display some kind of dialogues) and that I could build an
interface based upon HTML, what's not practicable because I don't want to
start up a whole webserver just to execute some simple scripts...

That, I didn't know. What do you mean with "not stable"? That it will cause
system errors or stuff like this?

How? And which one was useful?

Do you know a good forum or mailinglist?

Thanks a lot for your response
