Problem with Win32::GuiTest

zli034 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Today I'm trying to working with Win32::GuiTest to simulate mouse clicks.I installed strawberry perl and GuiTest module. But I got problem when I try to run the sample codes of GuiTest I found from this forum. This is the error message my pc gives me: This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action, Create an association in the set associations control panel. Why, how can I make GuiTest work?

Can you run other Perl programs? What did you do to determine that the problem is related to Win32::GuiTest?	[reply]

This is just a wild guess, but if you have a perl program named `foo.pl` and try to invoke it from the Windoze command line as `>foo.pl` you will get a response from the OS something like the one you describe. Try the invocation `>perl foo.pl` and see what happens. See perlintro and perlrun. Update: Added documentation links.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
