Hi, monks,
I'm trying to scale the inserted image in an Excel file but in vain. Could someone enlighten me? Thanks in advance!
Following is the code I've tried: 

 
use strict;
use warnings;
use OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const "Microsoft Excel";

my $excel = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application')
        || Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit');
$excel->{Visible} = 1;     
my $workbook = $excel->Workbooks->Open("D:/test.xls");
my $sheet    = $workbook->Worksheets("Sheet 1");
my $image = $sheet->Pictures->Insert("D:/test.jpg");  #Inserts image s
+ucessfully
#The following code fails
$image->{ShapeRange}->ScaleWidth("0.06, 0,2"); #Tries to scale with to
+ 6% but fails
$image->{ShapeRange}->ScaleHeight("0.06, 0,2"); #Tries to scale height
+ to 6% but fails
#Saves and quits
$workbook->Save;
$workbook->Close;

Solution found!

Just fixed the problem on my own:
The problem was with the ScaleWidth paramters AND the select property!
my $shape = $image->{ShapeRange};
$shape->Select;
$shape->ScaleWidth(0.06,1);
$shape->ScaleHeight(0.06,1);
