If you are on Windows, you could try Win32::IEAutomation. See for example here: Re: How to handle a browser window that opens up during the execution of some external program commands, or use Super Search for Win32::IEAutomation: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=3989;BIT=Win32%3A%3AIEAutomation	[reply]

As you did not stated your needs, this may be overkill, but I use LWP::UserAgent to do "browsing" from a perl script. It allows you to get a URL and read the content, then you can parse it and follow more links. Eventually, you would be able to write a spider bot. A for will get you from A to Z; a while will get you everywhere. -- greengaroo	[reply]
