Hi Forum.
I have a basic Question about Perl:
Is it possible to write perlcode that interacts with Windows-GUI's?
e.g. Clicking someone through an Installation?
And if it is possible... is it practicable?

I'm just using perl for Scripts to administer my Linux-Machines e.g. checking Log-Files etc..
Someone asked me that and I answered: No... but now I'm not sure.

Best Regards

Niels

i never used them (because i hate win32 coding) but you should have a look at the Win32:: modules on cpan. maybe some of them can do what you want. at least the Win32 API has to support actions like that, because i already saw (native) programs doing it.

besides that, please note that we are a german perl forum. if you prefer to speek/type english, there is a very large perl community at http://www.perlmonks.org.

it is possible please check out recent perl.com articles

yeah, should be possible, check out Win32::TestGUI\n\n
