Hypothetically, let’s say you are a Unix/Linux power user/admin, who now has a Mac.

One of the applications you use on your Mac is the Address Book, which can connect to your mobile phone, PDA or whatever else you want.

Since you are a power user, you probably also use Mutt to read your email on a Unix server.

Now we have a problem. There are ways of using the Address Book with mutt locally. But that won’t work for Mutt on a remote server.

Hence why I adapted an example I found on Google, into this little gem in a few minutes, after discovering somebody actually made Mac::Glue, a CPAN module that acts like GUI scripting interface AppleScript has.

I think I’ll be using Mac::Glue a little more often…
