capturing the proxy settings from IE using Win32::GuiTest

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

Hi monks,

I am trying to automate installation of perl modules using ppm

I am checking if any proxy settings are there in IE. I am successful in opening the LAN Settings window through script.

But my problem is am unable to get the text from Address: and Port: text boxes which I will use to set my http_proxy variable.

I tried using GetWindowText(Handle_of_Address_text_box) but I am unable to do so.

Please help me with or any better suggestions to get the proxy info.
