Revision history for Perl extension Mac::AppleScript::Glue.

0.03 Sat Sep 14 22:32:48 PDT 2002

• removed usage of osascript(1) and replaced it with Dan Sugalski's Mac::AppleScript, which does the same thing but better and faster (you'll need to install Mac::AppleScript first, from CPAN)
• simplified the notation of constants and simple object-references -- instead of passing a reference to a string (\'true'), now you can pass a string enclosed in angle-brackets ('<true>') and it will be passed along verbatim to AppleScript
• added an alternate calling form to Mac::AppleScript::Object->objref(), in which you can pass a pair of class and parameters (file => "foo") instead of having to clump it all into one string ("file => \"foo\"")
• added the option to specify a remote machine when creating a Mac::AppleScript::Application object (uses an "eppc:" URL)
• removed the SCRIPT_RESULT and EXEC debugging tags; now the SCRIPT tag debugs both the script and the result, and EXEC is unneeded since we don't exec osascript(1) anymore
• tried to make the AppleScript a little less verbose, since it seems that Adobe InDesign has problems with object-references that are too complicated
• fixed the internal number-recognizer so that "5.5.5" isn't thought to be a valid number ;)
• cleaned up a bunch of the examples in "scripts/"
• added a pod-tester to the test suite, as seen in brian d foy's Mac::iTunes
• added pre-requisites to the Makefile
• added copyright info
• various fixes to the POD documentation for clarity, etc.
