in reply to OLE/COM Controls

Could you give us more info? What control? What do you want to do with it?

    yes, some more information would be useful, i have just finished a piece of code that uses win32::ole to execute another program in order to communicate with the parallel port. What program do you want to execute? Do you want to pass variables ?

      I see I haven't been clear enough, or provided enough information. I don't want to execute a program. I want to create a Perl script that can act as a container for a control.

      The exact control probably won't help you, since you might not have it installed.

      The control I would like to use does have a GUI interface, and a Value property that I would like to return to the Perl script.

      In short, I would like to have my Perl script create an instance of the control, allow the user to interact with its GUI, and fetch a property (named "Value").

      I hope that helps. Thanks!
