Executing a menu command of a Windows program

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

Dear all. I would like to know if it is possible to execute a command integrated in the menu of a Windows application? I work with a simulation software that cannot be launched in batch mode and the "calculate" command is accessible through the menu of the application. I would like to execute this command from my perl script. Thanks a lot

I'm sorry, I may not fully understand the question. If you mean that you have a Windows application that you wish to automate check out Win32::GuiTest and Win32::GuiTest::Examples. If this does not help please clarify your question by adding some more details.	[reply]
