I presume it's compiled for 5.8. I use ActivePerl 5.8 and Win32::OLE comes as a part of the standard library. Also, I've tested my script from the command line and it works perfectly. I think the problem is in the fact that I try to use it from a CGI script on a IIS server. I searched for solutions to this on perlmonks and google groups. I was able to find a lot of questions, but not a lot of answers and whatever answers were there did not relate to the original question and just picked on a minor irrelevant problem in the script.

If someone implemented something like that in the past and it worked then I'm sure I'd find a solution eventually. I just need to know if it is possible theoretically, and if not, why not. And, also, I would like to be told if what I'm thinking of doing doesn't make sense or if there's another much simplier way that everybody does this.
