If the target Windows program can act as an OLE server, use Win32::OLE to drive it.
Use Win32::ActAcc and/or Win32::GuiTest to drive any Windows program.
There might also be a way to send DDE messages to the application using Win32::DDE (get the PPM from ActiveState I think). I donīt think it is possible in this case though.

Now, I am going out on a limb here, since i use neither WinPerl or M\$ Visual Studio, but i believe if you could find how to run it from the command line, then your problem would be solved.

Update: WTF? I am simply trying to illustrate that this is not a Perl problem, if someone wants to prove me wrong, good for them and the concerned party, but what's with the downvoting?!?! | [reply] |
FWIW, driving other programs, including MS Office or Studio programs, is an interesting (for me) use of Perl.

Sir,
I completely respect that. I implied that this poster was no John M. Dlugosz from his post, and tried to offer a lateral approach. I believe every problem can be a perl problem, if desired. Sorry if I offended.
End of Thread.
