Re: Doubt on Win32::OLE perl module

I'd say it's a pretty safe bet to say that a module in the Win32:: name space is intended for Win32 machines only ...

NAME
    Win32::OLE - OLE Automation extensions
...

DESCRIPTION
    This module provides an interface to OLE Automation from Perl. OLE
    Automation brings VisualBasic like scripting capabilities and offers
    powerful extensibility and the ability to control many Win32
    applications from Perl scripts.

Now if microsoft (or someone) has all of a sudden provided OLE for linux , then maybe there is a remote chance Win32::OLE could work, but I doubt it.

MJD says "you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!"
I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
