Hi All,

I'm using win32::ole module to open an excel file but unfortunately the file is not opening

It seems that excel flashes on screen for a milli second and goes off

I understand that there are lot of posts regarding win32::ole module but i'm unable to find a scenario that matches mine and hence posting the question, please guide me.

Microsoft office version i'm using is 2003 and 2010. Have installed Strawberry Perl on Windows systems and OS are Win XP and also Win 7. Tried on both OS's, but result is same

Code used is as follows


#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel';

my $excelfile = 'd:\\test\\Korea_Checklist.xls';

my $Excel = Win32::OLE->new( 'Excel.Application', 'Quit' );
$Excel->{'Visible'} = 1;
my $Book = $Excel->Workbooks->Open("$excelfile") or die "$!";

[download]

After execution excel flashes and goes off. Further it says "Died at test.pl line 11."
