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 Wednesday September 25 2002 3:57:50 am JD
