HarmB has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

There are so many modules around, but is there a module to read-back information of a particular window? And to press buttons in that window, as well as to fill-in fields in that window? The window not being a HTML page, or other online-service, but a regular application window, e.g WORD, or Notepad or Calculator(for Microsoft Windows). I cannot imagine there is not such a module, but apparantly I cannot find it. Who can help?

    The OP posted the question twice. I replied to the second one which was reaped and the reply reparented here. This is just in case you noticed the similarities with ikegami's reply above. :-)
