Yes ... not to keep this discussion alive or anything, but that's how many Perl programmers feel, in my experience. We think more like Perl than AppleScript. Other people think more like AppleScript. While we can pity them ;-), it ends up being just how different people have different preferences and goals and ways of thinking etc. While I hate AppleScript, I do not wish to convince anyone else to hate AppleScript. If you love it, fine. No skin off my nose (and besides, while Mac::Glue does not use AppleScript, without AppleScript, most applications would not be scriptable by Mac::Glue, so by all means, if you like AppleScript, use it!). I just recognize that other people are out there who, like me, hate AppleScript, but wish to have some of the power of AppleScript in Perl. And Mac::Glue is for me, and for them. :-) -- Chris Nandor [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://osdn.com/
