NAME
    Win32::ActAcc - an Active Accessibility client for Perl

SYNOPSIS
     use Win32::OLE;
     use Win32::GuiTest;
     use Win32::ActAcc;
     Win32::OLE->Initialize();  # Active Accessibility is based on COM

     my $hwnd_desktop = Win32::GuiTest::GetDesktopWindow();
     my $ao = AccessibleObjectFromWindow($hwnd_desktop);

     @ch = $ao->AccessibleChildren(); # returns list of accessible objects

     $name = $ao->get_accName();
     $rolename = Win32::ActAcc::GetRoleText($ao->get_accRole());

INSTALLATION
     perl makefile.pl
     nmake 
     nmake test
     nmake install

    Prerequisites:

    *   You need the July 2000 "Platform SDK". Earlier versions of the Active
        Accessibility SDK could give problems compiling. I compiled ActAcc
        using Visual C++ 6.0 SP 4.

    *   The test suite requires Notepad.exe on the path.

    ActivePerl users can install Win32::ActAcc using PPM.

     ppm install --location=http://members.bellatlantic.net/~pbwolf/ppmrepo Win32-ActAcc
