in reply to How do I send keyboard input to currently running Win32 apps?

Hi Tosh,
I had the same problem some time ago and I used Win32::GuiTest. It worked really well, the module also got some other nice features and is easy to install.

    Thanks for the tip!

    I've played around a little with the Win32::Setupsup module and it seemed to do the kind of thing I wanted but with infrequent results. Some keys don't seem to send at all and the usage frequently locks up the keyboard so I have to randomly hit keys to try to get my own input back. Maybe this is because I am a fairly inexperienced Perl coder and i'm just being stupid :-) However, it is something to bear in mind for others using the module.

    On the other hand, has anyone got any tips on using the module (above and beyond reading the module docs)? Many thanks.
