interactive perl

I'm writing a GUI tester, which involves me deeply in Win32::GuiTest. It's been a mix of joys and frustrations. Two things have saved my mind.

1. I'm hooked on Python's interactivity, especially when exploring a poorly-documented module. I was missing that badly in Perl; Komodo's interactive mode is only a partial substitute. This tip saved me: http://www.devx.com/tips/Tip/17304?trk=DXRSS_WEBDEV
   
2. Getting a module to export its functions was giving me fits. Just adding the function names to EXPORT_OK in the .pm file only gave me "Can't locate
   auto/... (function).al" errors. This is black magic to me, but it fixed it: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/libwww-perl/message/1470
