in reply to Scan open InternetExplorer windows with Win32::OLE

This code just seems to take whichever window was opened first
What would you expect GetActiveObject to do? I think you should try EnumAllObjects.

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

    Thanks for the reply. On your suggestion I tried EnumAllObjects. As far as I can tell, this method seems to only enum objects created by Win32::OLE or latched onto by GetActiveObject. Running the documentation's example code supports this. 
    use Win32::OLE;
my $IE = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('InternetExplorer.Application');
print $Count = Win32::OLE->EnumAllObjects(sub {
            my $Object = shift;
            my $Class = Win32::OLE->QueryObjectType($Object);
            printf "# Object=%s Class=%s\n", $Object, $Class;
        });
