Mac::Apps::Launch - MacPerl module to launch applications
use Mac::Apps::Launch; my @apps = qw(R*ch Arch MPGP); LaunchApps([@apps],1) || warn($^E); # launch and switch to front LaunchApps([@apps]) || warn($^E); # launch and don't switch QuitApps(@apps) || warn($^E); # quit @apps QuitAllApps(@apps) || warn($^E); # quit all except @apps
Simply launch or quit applications by their creator ID. The Finder can be quit in this way, though it cannot be launched in this way.
This module is used by several other modules.
This module as written does not work with MacPerls prior to 5.1.4r4.
Exports functions QuitApps(), QuitAllApps(), and LaunchApps().
QuitApps()
QuitAllApps()
LaunchApps()
General cleanup, rewrite of method implementation, no longer support versions prior to 5.1.4r4, addition of Quit methods, methods return undef on failure (most recent error in $^E, but could be multiple errors; oh well).
$^E
