Re: Running a Program through Perl

It depends on the program. Is it a GUI application? A console application? A service? Did you write it? Does it have an API you can hook? I suspect you may be after Win32::GUITest but you need to supply more details. Do you really mean it will only run on XP?

Yes it is a gui application. The only machines that I plan on running it on would be xp boxes. I don't believe it has an API. Will read up on Win32::GUITest Thanks	[reply]

Seeing you don't appear keen to name your app I suggest you also look at Win32::OLE which hooks the OLE API that almost all M$ and many 3rd party apps do have.	[reply]
