in reply to How to persist Win32::IE::Mechanize object

Win32::IE::Mechanize is based on Win32::OLE, and an OLE object lives in another process entirely. So you cannot persist Win32::IE::Mechanize objects. The best thing you can try is to save all "necessary" information, like page history etc., and then recreate that to restore the object.

    Oh... Bad. :( Thanks for the reply though..
    Is there any other way by which I can work on an IE window that I have opened already?? I tried GetActiveObject option, but it is not working, it opens up a new IE always.
    Or use some other modules to do this operation???

    Thanks,
    Monkster
      Maybe its a new window, buts its the same process (see task manager).
