Thanks David, Keary, Chris, Calling MacPerl from NisusWriter via Applescript (AS) does work, except it's sluggish.
Calling a droplet works well too. It's faster than AS. If there isn't any way for MacPerl to start a script when launched, the droplet option is probably the best buy, in terms of response time.

Maybe I'll include it with MacPerl. I'll try to locate "p2as" and see how I can use it. Best =====
