Hi everyone. I've recently wrote a script to semi-automate tasks in Internet Explorer. The reason it's semi-automate is that there are a couple of things I need to input manually, but that's not the problem here. The site is used for submitting medical claims, and after each submission, a popup will be displayed to confirm the data entered with either 'OK' or 'Cancel' (using standard confirm function from JavaScript). I wrote the script using only Win32::OLE library, and I wanted to know if there's a possibility to

1. Automatically click on the 'OK' button on the popup window, and to

2. Get back the focus to the cmd prompt which the Perl script is running

I search the internet for clues, and the closest I can find is the SendKeys function. However, I'm not sure how to apply in Perl. Can someone help me with this? Thanks.
