I see I haven't been clear enough, or provided enough information. I don't want to execute a program. I want to create a Perl script that can act as a container for a control.

The exact control probably won't help you, since you might not have it installed.

The control I would like to use does have a GUI interface, and a Value property that I would like to return to the Perl script.

In short, I would like to have my Perl script create an instance of the control, allow the user to interact with its GUI, and fetch a property (named "Value").

I hope that helps. Thanks!
