Re^2: Calling an executable and entering login credentials

Thanks for the reply! Actually the application is a .bat file and when I run this manually a login/password prompt pops up.. I need to put in the username and password and then submit it.. Something like a form program.. I want my perl script to interact to this .bat file and put in the credential and submit..

To interact with GUI programs on Windows, you should check out Win32::GUITest and its excellent examples.	[reply]

Batch files don't ask for passwords. Programs invoked by the batch files do that. Look at the batch file, find out which program asks for a password, read its documentation and find a way to pass the password on the command line. Or look at tools like AutoIt that are written to interact with GUIs.

Yeah.. There are some java programs doing that.. Is there anyway, that I can call the batch files from the script and then input the credentials using some modules ?	[reply]

You can try Win32::GuiTest, it seems it's able to send clocks and keystrokes to windows. Also you can use AutoHotKey or AutoIt to write a credentials-entering program, but this is not Perl. Sorry if my advice was wrong.	[reply]
