Automatic User input

starface245 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I got a program, once it execute the program (.exe), it gives 3 options to the User. Option1.. option2.. option3.. Depending on the User input, let say the User select option1, it runs option1. My question is that is there a way in Perl to write that so the User does not have to type "option1" every time. A Perl script to automatic select option1 instead of the User. Without rewriting/edit the original .exe program. Thanks

Yes, you could do it in perl with Win32::GuiTest, but you could also do it with http://www.AutoIt.com, AutoIt seems to be more geared towards non-programmers	[reply]

I check out autoitscript, it is not what I am looking for.. I am looking for a method/function do to User input without having the User there.	[reply]
