Thanks Marshall for your response. I am using the Win32::IEAutomation module to automate the IE browser for browsing through some URLs ( I can't use LWP). The URLs I browse will show different images. Sometimes IE uses cache to display the image, instead of making the actual call. I am trying to clear the IE cache before I make any request. Is there anyway I can do it using win32::OLE or similar modules? I will try using the other tools/methods mentioned above.
