Overview
This is a Perl language binding (glue code) for using Pashua from Perl. Pashua is a macOS application for using native GUI dialog windows in various programming languages.
This code can be found in a GitHub repository at https://github.com/BlueM/Pashua-Binding-PHP. For examples in other programming languages, see https://github.com/BlueM/Pashua-Bindings.

Usage
This repository contains two code files:
- “example.pl” is an example script, which does not do much more than define how the dialog window should look like and use the module class in the second file.
- “Pashua.pm” contains the “Pashua” module class
BlueM\Pashua, which declares two functions. Usually you will only needshow_dialog(), but if you want to find out where Pashua is, you can also uselocate_pashua(). You can put “Pashua.pm” anywhere you like, but if it is not in@INC, you will have to make sure it can be loaded, for example using aBEGINstatement similar to that in “example.pl”.
Of course, you will need Pashua on your Mac to run the example. The code expects Pashua.app in one of the “typical” locations, such as the global or the user’s “Applications” folder, or in the folder which contains “example.pl”.
Compatibility
This code should work with the default Perl installation on every Mac OS X version on which Pashua can run.
It is compatible with Pashua 0.10. It should work with earlier versions of Pashua, but non-ASCII characters will not be displayed correctly, as any versions before 0.10 required an argument for marking input as UTF-8.
