hi,

i have a win32 application that basically codes, i have to input a few details into the application and click on submit and it gives an output of codes in a textbox sort of thing.

I came across a competitor of mine who uses the same software and he seems to have automated this by creating a perl script and calling the script with parameters and then the application returns the values back to another script as params.

So basically, this competitor calls the perl script like this and queries the application: action.cgi?USER=4242&DAT=230

i was quiet amazed to see this. can anyone help me do this? if it is very hard work then i am willing to pay someone who is interested to make me such a script.

cheers
linda

Nice and simple using

search.cpan.org/~gsar/libwin32-0.191/Process/Process.pm

Obviously this is using Perl on a windows machine
