It sounds as if you'll need another module/modules along with
Win32:GUI to accomplish this type of task.
(Actually you don't need Win32:GUI at all probably)
But the type of automation you are talking about would be useful not only to
developers who are testing applications, but to people who would like to use
perl to acheive more control over what their programs do and when they do it.
I've already found perl to be a big help in automatically launching
certain programs based on criteria I give it, but that's about all I
can make it do. To be able to control each aspect of a program's input
and record its output is out of my abilities, but I'm definately interested
to see if it can be done. Perl never ceases to amaze me.
