I have a script to automatically open the IE browser and capture 200 html files. For some reason, after it run 70 html file, it stopped bringing up IE. I could not figure out what went wrong.

The following is my perl script(Active perl, run on the window7): 

$file="";
$name="";
$string="";

opendir(CURR,"C:/script") or die "Can't open directory: $!\n";
while(defined($file = readdir(CURR))) {
    if($file =~ m/(.*)\.html/) {
        $name = $1;
        print "name is $name;\n";
        print "$file\n";
        $capture_cmd = "C:/nircmd/nircmd.exe savescreenshot c:/script/
+$name.png";
        $kill_cmd = "C:/nircmd/pskill.exe iexplore.exe";
        print "string is $capture_cmd\n";
        system (1, "C://iexplore.exe", "-k", "file:///C:/script/$file"
+); #for IE
                sleep 2;
        if (system ($capture_cmd) != 0) {
                    print "system command failed";
        }                 
        if (system ($kill_cmd) != 0) {
            print "kill command failed";
        } 
                sleep 10;


    }
        
}
closedir(CURR);
