in thread use Win32::OLE::Variant -- Linux replacement

I don't want to install Win32::OLE on Linux. I will rewrite the code. But anyone know what is equivalent functionality Variant() function is doing in Linux?

OLE/COM is windows technology is a windows concept/product, its not a unix thing.

If you want OLE/COM on linux you have to use Wine which aims to allow applications designed for Microsoft Windows to run on Unix-like operating systems.

Now if you could be more specific as to what you're doing with Win32::OLE there might be other linux software capable of doing the same job
