[Sergei Mariev]

save the lines from "#!/usr/bin/perl"

to the last "}" as a plain text file using any application you like 
(TextWrangler, or Textedit, etc...). You can use any application for 
that. Name the file random2.pl or any other name with extension.pl 
You should save it in the path specified in the AppleScript, it 
doesn't have to be Documents/scriptsperl; (1), (2), (3) (4) are 
correct.

You can mail me directly if you have further questions!
