I did work successfully with DDE quite some time ago and the Win32::Editor::PFE mentioned by JamesNC is one of the results. But I did not need DDE for very long so I do not remember much.

Anyway ... could you give us more information? What error messages? What program are you trying to access? What does your code look like? ...
