in thread Whatever happened to Win32::IE::Mechanize?

No, the API for Win32::IEAutomation is entirely different from Mechanize. And it hasn't been touched since 2007. I found a post from Gábor Szabó in 2006 asking about the differences between the two. It's a mystery. There is unbelievable cruft in CPAN going back to the last century, and yet people seem to use Win32::IE::Mechanize and it's dropped.

    In fact, all the CPAN code I've seen so far for automating IE will fail for IE versions 8 or higher. I'll bet you haven't used IEAutomate since IE7 at most, right?
