# The value of $Win32::OLE::Warn determines what happens when an OLE error
# occurs.  If it's 0, the error is ignored.  If it's 2, or if it's 1 & the
# script is running under -w,  the Win32::OLE module invokes Carp::carp().
# If $Win32::OLE::Warn is set to 3,  Carp::croak() is invoked and the pro-
# gram dies immediately.
