in reply to Windows DDE

I used Win32::DDE::Client to work with a DDE server in this script.

    Monks,

    thanks for your answers, but Win32::DDE seems not to be a very good solution!
    First Win::DDE::Client does not know the order DDE->ADVISE, where the DDE->client
    waits for what the DDE->Server puts in the ADVISE-channel to the Client.
    And this I need!
    Second - but this is only my suspicion - it does not know the EVENTS that are probably
    set by the DDE-Server. They indicate that s.th. was put into tha channel from the DDE-server.
    Win::32::Client sets a TIMEOUT itself - hmmm.
    On this site You can see - I think - a complete use of the DDE possibilites of a DDE-client.
    It discribes a DDE-Client opject, unfortunately in VisualBasic.

    Anyway, thanks to all of you
    Carl
