Dan--

Perl does rock for text manipulation. I don't know Perl, and I don't know which version you have or what platform you're using, but if you can connect with the platform standard system for interapplication communication (AppleEvents on the Mac OS, COM/DDE/OLE2 Autmation in Windows), you should be able to use it to script InDesign.

Note, too, that InDesign's JavaScript has support for regular expressions, so a lot of Perl find/change routines could be implemented inside InDesign.

Thanks,

Ole
