Using Perl with OLE I have been using perl from past couple of years. Perl is best when it comes to comparing files,folders,search, or usage on the web. I am a Software Tester/QA Engineer I have been using Perl along with OLE to automate gui applications. And could not find any good tool which I could appreciate for object capturing(except OLEViewer), which comes with MS Visual Studio, or I used to do it via registry. Recently came across Active Perl Browser, which did help a lot. Recently checked the perl monks and found out info which I was looking forward to have since very long. Thanks a lot guys, this really is appreciating to contribute towards the open source as well as knowledge seekers like me.
