* Can I hook into the Mac stuff with something like Inline::Java?
Actually, you can do this without resorting to Java - there was a
great article on using the Objective-C bridge (Foundation.pm) at:

You also can use Camelbones for reading and writing PropertyLists in
Perl.
I use it in my build processes and it works great.
