    Well, you can. You can automate applications written in any language in perl.

    For command line apps expect is quite helpful, for GUI applications X11::GUITest (linux) or Win32::GuiTest.

    Really?
    Searching for "delphi" turns up PLDelphi as the second hit, which would appear to be what you are looking for, no?

      Thanks,

      McDarren, but I was not looking for that.
