in reply to Using COM Objects from Perl

The problem is in the registry entry for that library. It looks like the new call is failing, although I can't be sure from this distance. Take a look at this related problem report on the MS Web site. You'll have to do a re-install or regedit, I think, but the problem's going to be finding the correct values (ClassID and such).

    Unfortunately I've already been through that article amongst others. RegMon traces don't show any signs of problems (or rather, nothing that I recognise as a problem).

    In replying to another poster with an OLE problem I realised I should be taking my own advice, and tried the same operation with a VBS script:

    set sametime = CreateObject("STComTk.CommunityService")
sametime.LoginByPassword "Server", "User", "Password"

    [download]

    Same problem occurs:

    C:\usr\VBS\sametime.vbs(6, 1) (null): Library not registered.

    So it looks like there's something wrong with the Lotus Sametime COM objects rather than Perl...

    Cheers

      That error should have been:

      C:\usr\VBS\sametime.vbs(2, 1) (null): Library not registered.

      I stripped some comments out, so there isn't a line 6 :)
