Manipulating the IDE via Perl

The CodeWarrior Perl interpreter features extensions that let you manipulate objects within the IDE. You can call members of the CodeWarrior Plug-in API from your Perl scripts. For more information about the Plug-in API, refer to the IDE Plugin Manual.

For example, you can configure the IDE to perform the following tasks via Perl scripts:

• Parse file names from a specification file and add the corresponding files to a special group within the project, for use in a later build stage.
• Play a sound between the compile stage and the link stage in the project build process.
