When I saw that Mr Unur was telling me to use
Win32-IE-Mechanize instead, - I started dimming out.

When next I saw him telling me to "use warnings",
I started blanking out.

And when, finally, I saw that he'd added "use warnings" to my
original code -- but ---it seemed to me, when I skimmed over it, with
these old eyes, --- nothing else ..!..

Gentlemen, I'm old.

I glanced over the rest of the script and didn't notice
that any other changes had been made than the addition
of "use warnings".

I thought Mr Unur had "middle-posted" and left,
after telling me to use warnings.

As I wrote that message, I replaced your script with the copy-pasted
version of my script but gave no indication of the fact that I had changed
a single line in it.

That's my fault.

$IEWindow->Document->documentElement->{outerHTML};
is ideed exactly what I was asking for. It works.
(How ever did you find it?)

I wondered how Win32::IE::Mechanize did it and looked at its source code.

Microsoft has documentation on Internet.Application at msdn.microsoft.com.
The whole thing is really messy and I am not sure if you will able to do
better than Win32::IE::Mechanize (and if you are, I am sure we would all
appreciate your contributions).

On the other hand, that module helped me achieve a lot recently despite all
the warnings on CPAN. I am more worried about modules that don't tell me
their shortcomings up front.
