Hi John, Me too, a beginner. I've implemented some combo scripts using MacPerl and another scriptable tool, viz. AppleScript or NisusWriter. It's simplistic, but my ambition is limited. As I hate mixing different languages in a single piece of code, Perl, AS or NW scripts are separate files. The interface is based on the following: A- Calling a Perl script: 1- Make it a droplet and activate as an application, or 2- Activate a can opener droplet (perl-fire) that executes any Perl script. B- Passing arguments to Perl and getting results: 1- clipboard, or 2- files If you are interested, let me know. Cheers.
