Perl Script execution while system in locked.

9mohit2 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

Can someone guide me whether all Perl scripts can be executed via Task Scheduler when the system is in locked state. I faced some issue with the scripts involving Win32::OLE use.

Anyone having experience in this thing??Please comment

If I recall correctly some things won't work when the screen is locked, what are you trying to do? Things such as screen automation, sending key presses?	[reply]

Hi 9mohit2 Win32::OLE->LastError() will give you the last recorded OLE error and able to trace why the issue has occured. Please look into below link http://docs.activestate.com/activeperl/5.8/lib/Win32/OLE.html for more details. Also if the perl script is expecting any input from user during execution it may not go well.	[reply]
