in reply to Speed test of graphical UI

Just to elaborate on the speed issue...

The problem is NOT in measuring time, but rather how do you fake a user running this program? and then measuring the time it took ;)

    H Cine,

    I can only answer this question from a Win32 perspective, I'm still a linux newbie. But I think that Win32::SetupSup will help you in Windows. I think it's on CPAN - I can't connect at the moment.

    IIRC, Win32::SetupSup lets you interact with the GUI (faking a user) so all you'd need to do is subtract the finish time from the start time. I am not sure if Win32::SetupSup would help you detereming IF the process has finished, I suppose it depends on the GUI app in question.

    $code or die

    Error: Keyboard not attached. Press F1 to continue.

    Update: hmm.Opera won't connect to CPAN search or Kobe's CPAN search but Netscape does. Anyone else have this problem?
