man osascript

It looks as if the elements of an AppleScript list are coerced to 
strings and delimited with comma+space.  The example below shows that 
you would need to make sure you got the data in an unambiguous form.


#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict ;
my @AS_List = split /, /,
        `osascript -e '{2+3=5, path to me, {current date}}'`;
for (@AS_List) {
        print "$_$/"
}

true
alias dx2:usr:bin:osascript
