Are you calling DoAppleScript under perl under MPW?  I seem to remember
this can be Bad:

>I've discovered that an MPW tool cannot initiate an AppleScript more
>than once. The problem is that the AppleScript subsystem maintains some
>per-process information in it's cache, and expects that process to stick
>around until an ExitToShell. Since an MPW tool behaves more like a
>plug-in, it doesn't call ExitToShell, and so AppleScript doesn't notice
>when the code fragment that called it goes away. When it's called again
>from the same Process Manager process, but a different context within
>that process, it gets horribly confused as evidenced by the crash.

>I could find no solution to this problem for the MPW tool environment.
>My solution was to add a RunApplescript built-in command in the MPW
>Shell. That command is available in the latest version of the shell,
>3.6d4.
