Eric M. Williams writes "Oxalyn Software is pleased to announce the immediate availability of AE Monitor 1.5. AE Monitor helps developers understand Apple events and integrate Apple event functionality into their applications. This major update delivers many new features, including automatic code generation to replicate Apple events from Perl applications; the ability to monitor applications one at a time; event rules; enhanced performance and customization, and much more."

"AE Monitor saves developers time by creating source code that allows their application to replicate a captured Apple event. Supported languages include Perl, tcl, REALbasic, and any application that can call the Apple Event Manager's AEBuild() function with an AEGizmo-formatted string. Native REALbasic code can also be generated using REALbasic's built-in Apple event support.

AE Monitor requires Mac OS X 10.2 or later (Mac OS 9 is not supported).

A free, fully functional 30-day demo is available for download.

Thanks for your time!

The Perl code output by AE Monitor uses Mac::AppleEvents::Simple, which is the base module used by much of Mac::Glue to send its Apple events.
