LastError() is your friend. Use it as all is often revealed.

    Hi tachyon. thanks so much for your time & interest... are you talking about this:
    print Win32::OLE->LastError(), "\n";
    because if you are, it unfortunately returns NOTHING! thanks, michael
      You can also use Win32::GetLastError() which is included in core perl. To get the text based version of that, Win32::FormatMessage(Win32::GetLastError()) or "$^E"
