=head1 NAME

Mac::KeyboardMaestro - Run Keyboard Maestro macros

=head1 SYNOPSIS

   use Mac::KeyboardMaestro qw(km_macro km_set km_get);

   # set a Keybaord Maestro variable
   km_set "VarName", $value;

   # run a Keyboard Maestro macro
   km_macro "Reticulate Splines";

   # get a Keboard Maestro variable
   my $result = km_get "OtherVar";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is a simple interface to the OS X keyboard macro program
Keyboard Maestro.

The standard way recommended by the Keyboard Maestro application to talk to it
via Perl is to shell out to C<osascript> and pass that an AppleScript program
that calls Keyboard Maestro.  This module avoids this and talks the same
AppleScript directly in process (which is quicker) and handles all the character
escaping necessary to avoid executing parts of your macro/varible names and
values as AppleScript by mistake.

=head2 Functions

These functions can be imported, or you can use them fully qualified.

=over

=item km_macro $macro_name

=item km_macro $macro_uuid

and exception if there's a problem.

  tell application "Keyboard Maestro Engine"
     do script @{[ _escaped shift ]}
     {}
  end tell
APPLESCRIPT
push @EXPORT_OK, 'km_macro';

=item km_set $varname, $value

Sets the value of the corrisponding Keyboard Macro variable.  C<$value> will
be automatically stringified.

=cut

sub km_set($$) { _ras <<"APPLESCRIPT"; return }
  tell application "Keyboard Maestro Engine"
    set kmVarRef to make variable with properties { name:@{[ _escaped shift ]} }
    set value of kmVarRef to @{[ _escaped shift ]}
    {}
  end tell
APPLESCRIPT
push @EXPORT_OK, 'km_set';

=item km_get $varname

Gets the current value of the corrisponding Keyboard Macro variable.  Returns
C<undef> if no such variable exists.

=cut

sub km_get($) { return _ras <<"APPLESCRIPT" }
  tell application "Keyboard Maestro Engine"
    set kmVarRef to make variable with properties { name:@{[ _escaped shift ]} }
    get value of kmVarRef
  end tell
APPLESCRIPT
push @EXPORT_OK, 'km_get';

=item km_delete $varname

Deletes the corrisponding Keyboard Macro variable

=cut

sub km_delete($) { _ras <<"APPLESCRIPT"; return }
    tell application "Keyboard Maestro Engine"
      delete variable @{[ _escaped shift ]}
      {}
    end tell
