jyo123 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

HI, I have written a script to get the text from PopupWindow.But when i run it is showing error in IEAutomation.pm like this -
-Use of uninitialized value $counter in numeric le(<=) at E:/Perl/site +/lib/win32/IEAutomation.pm line 537 -Can't call method "title" on an undefined value at E:/Perl/site/lib/w +in32/IEAutomation.pm line 542.
Following is my perl script -
#!/usr/bin/perl use Win32::OLE; use Win32::IEAutomation; $IE = Win32::OLE->new("InternetExplorer.Application") || die "Could not start Internet Explorer.Application\n"; $IE = Win32::IEAutomation->new( visible => 1, maximize => 2); $IE->gotoURL('http://10.255.114.191/snmpconfig.html'); $IE->getButton('caption:',"Configure SNMP v1/v2c" )->Click; open(OUT, "E:/test/input.txt") || die; @lines = <OUT>; foreach $value (@lines) { $IE->getTextBox('name:',"get_comm_name")->SetValue("$value"); $IE->getButton('caption:',"Apply")->Click; sleep 5; my $popup = $ie->getPopupWindow("Request Acknowledged-Phaser 4510DT"); $popup->getTable('id:', "headingtext")->Click; } close OUT;
Please anyone give me solution for this

    No idea what the problem is, but you probably shouldn't be setting $IE to the Win32::OLE object and then immediately overwriting it with the Win32::IEAutomation object. You may also want to chomp(@lines) to remove the newlines, depending on what SetValue is expecting. Consider enabling warnings, too.
