Use Win32;

Use Win32::API;

Use Win32::OLE;

my $Au3 = Win32::OLE-New("AutoIt3x.Control");

$Au3->WinGetHandle("strTitle", "strTxt");

so on so forth

Does anyone have an instance of this actually working? I have installed Win32::API and Win32::OLE through ppm but I am getting the same message as the original poster. Please help!

Hum i really think you must read the documentation of AutoItX3:

Before you can use the COM interface to AutoItX it needs to be "registered" (This is done automatically when you install the full version of AutoIt but you may need to do it manually if you are using AutoItX seperately).

To register the COM interface:

1. Open a command prompt

2. Change directory (using CD) to the directory that contains AutoItX3.dll

3. Type regsvr32.exe AutoItX3.dll and press enter

The name of the AutoItX control is AutoItX3.Control

and of ActivePerl....

Win32::OLE->new(PROGID[, DESTRUCTOR])

The code who works fine is this one:

use Win32;
use Win32::API;
use Win32::OLE;
my $Au3 = Win32::OLE->new("AutoItX3.Control");
$Au3->Run("calc.exe");

And after reading all docs... it works
