in reply to Accessing COM Objects from Perl

I am using ActiveState Perl on Windows 2000 and have need to instantiate and access a COM object.

Use Super Search and look for message that contain the string "Win32::OLE". You'll find lots of examples of how to instantiate and access COM objects, including examples that cover Excel and others.

Use this as an excuse to figure out how to search this site effectively. Such an exercise pays high dividends.
