in reply to How to open a XVI32 hex editor in Perl

Take a look at the Win32::GuiTest module.

Update: Actually, if you just want to launch the application rather than automate its use see system or similar.

    Thanks Marto. This module is pretty cool. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

    Thanks,

      Glad to be of help. Out of curiosity, are you planning on automating a hex editor to manipulate the pcl files you mentioned in your previous post?

[reply]

        Yes likely. I hope that's possible and I'm giving it a shot since I'm not quite happy with reading the entire PCL file for just editing few fields. I think it's risky. I'm able to search and edit for one field so far and the document opens up fine.

        The XVI32 editor has an inbuilt XVI script interpretor which I'm using to send commands for editing to the hex editor.
