RunAppleScript vs. DoAppleScript

2002-11-14 Thread Chris Nandor
Mac::Carbon includes MacPerl.pm, which has some of the same functions as the MacPerl version: primarily convenience functions like SetFileInfo, GetFileInfo, and DoAppleScript. There's a Mac::AppleScript module that has a RunAppleScript, which is mostly like DoAppleScript; the only real

BB Edit 7 reads shebang

Folks who have more than 1 Perl on their system might like to now that BBEdit (apparently) reads the shebang and acts appropriately. That is, now you can use the Check Syntax feature, and the correct install of Perl will check the document. I didn't see that feature in their literature, but it
