thartman@mst.edu has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Is the VBScript/VB global variable Err accessible in Win32::OLE?

I'm invoking a function (e.g. SWbemServices.ExecQuery) that sets a global variable.

In my case, I'm executing a WQL query. When I give it bad SQL/WQL, Win32::OLE->LastError() doesn't seem to contain any indication of that. The Win32::OLE docs don't say anything about the source of LastError(), only that it's the last error set.

Does anyone know if Err is available through Win32::OLE?

    Hi There, and welcome to the monastery.

    I'm slightly dumbstruck, but took a quick look on Microsoft site and see they have a Perl example of how to get the last SWbemServices error... Microsoft Perl example. Of course the bastards make you scroll to the bottom of the page. ;o)

    HTH.

      It never occurred to me to look for Perl on their web site. I am completely shocked. Thanks.
