Mac::Glue makes it relatively easy to do it, especially if you have some
experience with AppleScript. Taking your original psuedocode, here's the
untested Mac::Glue equivalent:
use Mac::Glue ':all';
my $fm = new Mac::Glue 'FileMaker';
my $handles = $fm->obj(
records => whose(field => 'price', equals => '*'),
database => 1
);
for my $handle ($handles->get) {
# do something
}
For more info on Mac::Glue, you might want to see the recent article on
perl.com.
