D'oh, I meant to include the old files, but only temporarily, as they
really should be rewritten as POD. Your POD-writing pencil would be most
appreciated!
That said, duplex mode should do it. Remote mode wants you to do more work
after initiating the event, whereas in Duplex mode, it does the extra work
for you to some degree, IIRC. Do this:
tell application "MacPerl"
Do Script "sleep(1)" mode Remote
end tell
Then look in MacPerl ... it is still trying to do work when the script
ends. Quit MacPerl (you may have to force quit!) and try again with mode
Duplex, and it is fine after the script ends.
However, perhaps the Right Way to do it is just to handle it in
AppleScript, telling AppleScript not to wait on the response instead of
telling MacPerl to return one.
tell application "MacPerl"
ignoring application responses
Do Script "sleep(10)"
end ignoring
end tell
