Hi to all,

I am not sure if this is the right forum to post this query. But please help if possible..

I am working on a perl module called Win32::IE::Mechanize which opens up Internet Explorer using OLE automation concept and gets the html content of any url. It works fine when used in Windows platform directly. But if I try to run the program in Windows from Unix platform using SSH to communicate to the Windows machine, it is not working.

Can you please help me in knowing what is the problem and how to fix it. Or please suggest me where to post this query if this is not the right forum..

Thanks a lot in advance..

update :

The Win32::IE::Mechanize module is such that it prints 'Cannot create an InternetExplorer.Application' if it is not able to open up Internet Explorer successfully. But this error message is not displayed. So I guess it is able to open IE but not able to communicate properly with it. Appending this update, perhaps it may give a better picture..
