Yes, some of this discussion went on in the Chatterbox before I took it to SOPW, and I think bart had mentioned Win32::IE::Mechanize. I did not know about it, nor did I know about the Mozilla packages you mention, and they might be very useful to us too, from the point of view of having overlapping technologies.

However, there is either a serious hole in my understanding of calling methods in Win32::OLE or a problem there. Either way, I need to understand and fix that hole. Thank you for your comment. I am making a note of the libraries you mentioned.
