It is? I thought this was Facebook... ;-) Seriously, that's why I posted on Meditations as an RFC. I wasn't sure if it would be welcome as a real node. Maybe consider it a form of Perl advocacy in the AppleScript world, speaking the native language in order to reach more potential converts.	[reply]

... i thought it was twiiter :-) ...seriously.... the conventional way to introduce non-perl scripts here, is to wrap them in an here doc, like: `#/usr/bin/perl my $scriptSrc = <<"EOF"; <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="APPLESCRIPT"> # all your applescript here EOF print $scriptSrc,"\n";` [download] ... then everybody is happy I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

Indeed, you need to wrap it that way otherwise the site gets syntax coloring and reindenting wrong. You also need to add `use warnings; use strict;` though, or it will get rejected on the base that you'd find the trivial errors if you enabled those.	[reply] [d/l]
