First off - can you always depend on a user being logged in? If so, the simplest ideas tend to be the best. For a full-blown GUI app I'd use CamelBones, but for a simple OK/Cancel dialog the old MacPerl module is still the easiest:

        #!/usr/bin/perl

        use MacPerl;

my $verify = MacPerl::Answer('Do you want to run backups?', 'OK', 'Cancel');
        print $verify, "\n";
