I am dealing with Outlook 2000 via Win32::OLE module. When I open a new instance of Outlook with following code 

$outlook = Win32::OLE->new('Outlook.Application');

[download]

It pops up with some dialog boxes. For example "Profile choose", "Mail Server Username & Password", "Personal Folders Password". I would like to provide these values through the program.

One option I came across is providing values to the popup dialog boxes via SendKeys method in Win32-GuiTest module. (Thanks Mr. Muskrat / Foggy Bottoms for your guidance.)

I am wondering whether there is any other proper way to deal with this instead.

Please comeup with your suggessions if you have any... Thanks all monks in advance - SB
