Active Accessibility (intended to assist the blind) lets programs "see" what's 
on the screen and detect mouse motion, window focus changes, and the like.  
Win32::ActAcc gives Perl scripts full run of the Active Accessibility client 
API.

Sample included:  aaAIMEliza.pl - watches for AOL Instant Message window, 
scrapes the incoming message into a string, trots it through the Chatbot::Eliza 
psychotherapist, and types Eliza's answer into AIM with Win32::GuiTest.  Keeps 
a separate antiseptic Eliza instance for each correspondent.  Has crippling 
imperfections, but none that a bit more hacking couldn't solve (exercise left 
to reader).  Rube Goldberg alert.

PPM installer included in the zip file on CPAN.
