No, I'm using Win32::OLE because I have to create graphs in excel and move them to powerpoint (apparently powerpoint is the only language my boss understands).

What I am doing is creating a graph. The entire code is: 

$data[0]='162|There is a Project Management office in place that monit
+ors, participates and reports on projects|7|0';
$data[1]='163|There is a PMO that provides policies/procedures/tools f
+or project planning/tracking, which are used regularly|0|0';
$data[2]='164|There is no PMO, however, formal policies/procedures/too
+ls exist are used regularly|46|0';
$data[3]='165|Formal policies/procedures/tools exist but are not used|
+0|0';
$data[4]='166|Ad hoc, no formal policies/procedures|46|1';

$qid=65;
$binst=10;

$cname='Client Name';

use Win32::OLE qw(in with);
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel';
use Win32::OLE::Variant;
$Win32::OLE::Warn = 3;   


$Excel = Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application') or die "oops\n"; 

my $Book = $Excel->Workbooks->Open("c:\\stage\\scratch.xls"); 

my $Sheet = $Book->Worksheets("data");

  # skip empty cells
  $row=1;
  $col=1;
  $x=0;
  $y=1;
  for (@data){
      $x++;
      ($id,$label,$value,$checked)=split(/\|/);
      $Sheet->Cells($row,$col)->{'Value'}=$label;
      $Sheet->Cells($row,$col+1)->{'Value'}=$value;
      $Sheet->Cells($row,$col+2)->{'Value'}=$checked;
      if($checked==1){
          $y=$x;    
      }
      $row++;
  }
my $Range = $Sheet->Range("A1:B5");
my $Chart = $Book->Charts->Add;
$Chart->ChartWizard($Range,xlPie,6,xlColumns,1,0,1,"Approach to Projec
+t Management");
$text=$Chart->SeriesCollection(1)->Points(1)->DataLabel->{Text};

$Chart->SeriesCollection(1)->Points($y)->DataLabel->{Text} = "$cname\n
+$text";

$Chart->Legend->{Position} = xlLegendPositionBottom;

$Book->Close;

It is a test for creating multiple graphs in Excel.

Any ideas on the syntax?
