ie history - perl module to read these?
|

| Forget what you see in explorer. Here what my scipt saw.
Look for "C:/Documents and Settings/S0007617/Local Settings/History/History.IE5"
"."
/".."
/"desktop.ini"
/"index.dat"
/"MSHist012004021620040223"
/"MSHist012004022320040301"
/"MSHist012004030120040308"
/"MSHist012004030820040309"
/"MSHist012004030920040310"
/"MSHist012004031020040311"
/"MSHist012004031120040312"
/"MSHist012004031220040313"
/"MSHist012004031320040314"
Question is, what's the format? How do I read this.
Is there a module to do this?
If I do a strings on the files I can see the URL text.

You might find that there's a method to retrieve the history somehow by
using the Win32::OLE (I think) module to create an Internet Explorer
object which you can then call methods on and inspect properties of. I
haven't got a PC runnign here so I can't check, though. The perl docs
that came with ActivePerl include an OLE browser which seems to let you
see what objects, methods, properties etc. you can access.
