tell app "MacPerl"
do script ["mhonarc", "mailboxname", "-outdir", ¬
":outputpath", "-rcfile", "resourcefile.rsc", "-add"]
end
You will probably need the whole path to "mhonarc" in there.
As to starting existing scripts ... you could possibly do:
#!perl
@ARGV = ("mailboxname", "-outdir", ":outputpath",
"-rcfile", "resourcefile.rsc", "-add");
do 'mhonarc';
Or you could, if you have MPW perl set up, do:
#!perl
my $cmd = 'mhonarc mailboxname -outdir :outputpath -rcfile ' .
'resourcefile.rsc -add';
`$cmd`;
It should work just fine if "mhonarc" is in your MPW scripts folder.
