I'll definitely have a look at your Samie. We do have (in production for more than a year) a similar VB solution, but I'd of course prefer a Perl one.

What we have is a COM object that wraps the browser (actually up to four browser windows) and provides similar methods like Samie. Then there is a service that loads the data and commands from database, instantiates the COM object and drives it through the pages. At times it's pretty slow, especialy if the site I need to work with is slow. Apart from running several instances of the service I don't see a way to work on several sites at once.

Did you try to run several Samies in several threads? How do you handle popup windows?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
