First, please excuse the newbie question. I don't think this is off-topic, but my judgement isn't the one that counts. ;-) I've done a good bit of searching with google, faqs, and posting to comp.lang.perl.misc, but can't figure this out...
I'm using the most recent cygwin port of perl (revision 5.0 version 6 subversion 1) on windows 2000. I want to send "alt+f x" to an Outlook Express window from a perl script. It seems that ActiveState Perl can do this with the Win32::Setupsup package, but that the vanilla perl (or cygwin's perl) cannot do this? I tried to install the Win32-CtrlGUI-0.22 package from cpan.org but it requires Win32::Setupsup which is not on cpan.org. I found this package on perlring.org but it seems to require ppm. I found references to ppm at activestate.com but it appears to be a feature of ActivePerl rather than of "just perl". So the question is: "how to I send keystrokes to a Windows window with cygwin Perl"? I'm using cygwin tools heavily in this perl script and I'd hate to have to use ActiveState perl. Partly because I love cygwin and partly because the path translation between a non-cygwin perl and cygwin tools would introduce messiness I'd like to avoid. Suggestions welcome.
