I am trying to install a version of perl that works with WIN32::GUITEST. I found dwimperl "http://dwimperl.com/windows.html" and installed it. I then went to CPAN and tried the calculator program "http://search.cpan.org/~karasik/Win32-GuiTest-1.60/lib/Win32/GuiTest/Examples.pm#eg/calc.pl".

I tried running both: 

 perl calc.pl mouse
 perl calc.pl keyboard

[download]

They both seemed to run without error but did not return the correct result. Both brought up the windows Calculator fine. In the keyboard case none of the Pushbutton code seemed to work. In the Mouse case the code seem to get the windows from calculator but the mouse click did not seem to work.

Any help would be appreciated. Is it user error?,does dwimperl work with WIN32:GUITEST (should I use something other than dwimperl - if so what?), is it a problems window version I am using (windows 7).

Thankyou in Advance

David Newton
