I think you need to post a bit more of your code. I am guessing that you are generating the Internet Explorer object like this: 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Win32::OLE;
my $IEWin = Win32::OLE->new('InternetExplorer.Application');
$IEWin->{Visible} = 1;
$IEWin->Navigate2('file:///c:/temp/jsFrameset.htm');
  my $IEDoc = $IEWin->{Document};
    my $frames = $IEDoc->{frames};
...

But with this code I get an error much sooner...the frames collection cannot be retrieved from the Document object reference. This is really weird, because I can call all sorts of other things defined there: 

  DB<1> x $IEDoc->{URL}
0  'file://C:\\Temp\\jsFrameset.htm'
  DB<2> x $IEDoc->{fileSize}
0  118
  DB<3> x $IEDoc->{fileModifiedDate}
0  '09/02/2005'
  DB<4>

But the frames collection eludes me. BTW, why do you want to do this? I ask because there may be a way to do it without this automation code at all.
