Check out the Win32::OLE - Type Library Browser by Jan Dubois. ActivePerl includes an option for installing it. While I couldn't find a separate link to the Win32::OLE browser, I did stumble across some of ActiveState's documentation work for MS. I refuse to post links to MSDN because they change monthly. However, I was able to find the document in a google search with "Taking Advantage of Windows 2000 and the .NET Platform". This article, written by Jan Dubois and David Ascher in June 2002, has some excellent info for running Perl, Python, Tcl and PHP on the Win32 platform, including how to use COM/OLE scripting components.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I feel the need to take a shower.

You said you wanted to be around when I made a mistake; well, this could be it, sweetheart.
