I like this solution, I've had it in my back pocket for some time now.
Instead of calling the Perl script from Ruby, call the Ruby script
from Perl, like so:
use Win32::GuiTest qw(FindWindowLike GetWindowText
SetForegroundWindow SendKeys);
system (1, "C:\\ruby\\bin\\ruby.exe script.rb");
while (1) { #INFINITE LOOP
sleep 5; #CHECK FOR NEW WINDOW EVERY 5 SEC
my @windows = FindWindowLike(0, "^Microsoft Internet Explorer"
);
for (@windows) {
SetForegroundWindow($_); #BRING THE RIGHT WINDOW IN FOCUS
SendKeys("{ENTER}");
}
}
That "system (1, foo) is magic-- it returns control to the calling
(Perl) script. This way your Perl script loops, happily finding and
dismissing windows, while your Ruby script runs around generating
them.
