I'm leaving the rest of the answers; I can check if Acrobat is scriptable
when I get home though.

I just wanted to say this: If what you were talking about were a normal
Perl script, that is: it stayed within what perl does on its own, then
sure.  A Perl environment is a Perl environment, basically.  If you really
wanted to be sure you could put a free Unix on the PC (Darwin, if you
wanted to be absolutely sure...), and test on that.

However, you are mostly talking about programming the Mac, Perl is just
the language you have chosen (and it may not even be the right one for the
job!), so you really would need to test it on a Mac.
