This sounds as if you expected the LWP::Simple (Perl is CAsE
seNSiTIvE) to somehow control some other program that happens to be a
web browser. That's not what the module's for. The module allows your
program, written in Perl, to send HTTP requests and receive and
handle responses. It doesn't use the Internet Explorer for anything.
If you do want to control the Internet Explorer you have to use
something else. Win32::GuiTest or Win32::IE::Mechanize (

)
