Embedding IE in a Perl/Tk Widget?

[BenRussell]

Is it possible to embed an Internet Explorer window inside of a Perl/Tk widget? Basically, I am writing a program that I want to display a small advertisement window at the bottom, but I want it to be displayed using IE and point to a specific URL.

If that is not possible, it it possible to embed Flash inside of a widget? I know I can do GIF and JPEG, but wasn't sure about Flash.

Perl/Tk is a cross-platform GUI application/interface for Perl...

same as tcl/tk, python/tk, etc..

TK is a Toolkit extention that allows you to create windows and controls for scripted languages...

*You can usually tell if a program is using TK by the red TK in the top left corner of the window...

In other languages, the control is named WebBrowser, and resides in shdocvw.dll/shdocvw.oca

heres a start?
use Win32::OLE;
my $IE = Win32::OLE->new('InternetExplorer.Application');
$IE->{'Visible'} = 1;# if you want to see what's going on
$IE->Navigate("about:blank");# in other words go to any site...

u must capture $IE somehow from here and place it in the widget
