Re: use Win32::IEAutomation;

I am not sure, but you should try using a conditional to check if it returns a true value. You enabled the -w flag and use strict, I trust, so the below code may help with debugging:

use diagnostics;
if( my $textbox = $ie->getTextBox('name:', 'ctl00$ContentPlaceHolderCo
+ntent$FileUpload_opfFile') ) {
    #Okay, now see if we can set the value
    if( $textbox->SetValue('C:\\test\\9780547076034NIMAS.opf') ) {
        print "it should work\n";
    } else {
        print "could not set the value\n";
    }
} else {
    print "could not get the text box\n";
}

Be advised that I am unfamiliar with this module, and the getTextBox and SetValue methods may operate in void context, causing this test to be useless.

With the code I provided, did you try what you had originally tried(the many different ways of the filename)? With MSWin, the packacge developers don't always use a common type(backslash or forward slash). ~Thomas~	[reply]
