Hi All, I am facing a problem while running a perl script through selenium RC server . I recorded oone log in test case with slenium IDE and run it after that with the ide only and it worked fine . After I exported that test case as a perl script . I installed all the required modules (like Test::WWW::Selenium,Test::More,Test::Exception)by PPM GUI (As I am using active perl 5.10 on winxp).I run the Selenium Rc server and tried to execute my below code . 
# use strict;
# use warnings;
# use Time::HiRes qw(sleep);
# use Test::WWW::Selenium;
# use Test::More "no_plan";
# use Test::Exception;
#  
# my $sel = Test::WWW::Selenium->new( host => "localhost", 
#                                     port => 4444, 
#                                     browser => "*firefox", 
#                                     browser_url => "http://localhost
+:28080/" );
#  
# my $s = $sel->open_ok("/interop/index.jsp");
# print " \n Test Script \n ";
# print " \n \n my var $s \n \n";
# $sel->set_speed("1000");        # without this line, everything will
+ error out.
# $sel->wait_for_page_to_load_ok("100000");
# sleep (50);
# $sel->type_ok("bpm.Logon.1.txtPassword", "password");
# $sel->click_ok("bpm.Logon.1.btnLogon");

and after executing that code the broswer opens that url page and the status shows as "done". But In that opened page no UI elements are there like text box and buttons , It is a blank page . The console result shows : 
# D:\selenium_sc_HSS\RC>perl pl3.pl
# ok 1 - open, http://localhost:19000/interop/index.jsp
#  
#  Test Script
#  
#  
#  my var 1
#  
# ok 2 - wait_for_page_to_load, 100000
# # Error requesting http://localhost:4444/selenium-server/driver/:

Because of the page element text box with ID "bpm.Logon.1.txtPassword" is not loaded (As I mentioned it is coming as blank page) the script is throwing error as "Element bpm.Logon.1.btnLogon not found" Can any one help me on this why the page is not getting loaded fully though the firefox browser status is showing "done" and the same test case is loading the page fully with selenium IDE . Advance thanks for any input on this..!!
