Praveen Dharmaraj has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello,

I get the following error when I try to run a perl script from cmd prompt."Win32::OLE object version 0.1709 does not match $Win32::OLE::VERSION 0.1701".

I understand that there is a version mismatch. I'm trying to run a perl script that was developed by someone else(probably with an earlier version of perl).

Can anybody tell me how to get around this problem?

        If you've got two left shoes, what is the workaround? Find right shoe :)( reinstall module )

        How did you install Win32::OLE?

        Update: The version of this module you seem to be trying to work with is very old, consider simply installing the current (upto date) version.
