Hi All,
I have a very extensive Perl script using Win32. This is an automation script which manipulates various windows using the mouse and keyboard (using Win32::GuiTest) . The various windows that I am manipulating are part of a software program that was written in Java. However, my Perl script is layered on top of this program, so it does not affect the Java code (I hope that makes sense). In other words, my Perl automation is just taking the place of a person actually sitting at the computer and using this program by clicking through the windows.
The problem is sometimes when I run the Perl script it works just fine. And I get the expected outcome. And other times, I run it and the windows lock up and everything gets all out of sync. So now it’s like every run is just a crap shoot…I just run it and see if ‘this time’ it will work properly.
Is there something that I need to add to my Perl script that will make sure the process runs without any hiccups and is reliable every time I run it? Does this have to do with memory or the ‘AllocateVirtua lBuffer’ function that I keep seeing in Perl, but i can't find much detail on it?
Any thoughts?
