The message you are getting back suggests that just using OLE won't work, however it is worth trying the simplest approach (just to prove that it won't do it).

use strict; use Win32::OLE; my $ie = Win32::OLE->new( 'InternetExplorer.Application' ) or die "error starting IE"; $ie->{visible} = 1; $ie->navigate( 'https://internal.site.of.doom/' ); sleep(4); if(!defined $ie->Document()) { print STDERR "Nope that failed as well"); } else { print "We have something back!\n"; }

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
