Yes, I think perl is difficult to learn, but for me at least, certainly 
worth it. I find it much easier to quickly write a routine in perl than 
AppleScript.

I'm not sure which two books you have, but _Programming Perl_ and 
_Learning Perl_ have many helpful examples which can often be easily 
altered to complete a task. I think there's also _Perl Cookbook_ with 
more examples.

Best,

Roger
