The ActiveState ActivePerl 5.8 below runs from the command line but no
+t when called via cgi.  Any help would really be appreciated!


#!C:/Perl/bin/perl.exe
#
use strict;
use Win32::OLE qw(in with);
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel';
$Win32::OLE::Warn = 3;  # die on errors...
my $Excel = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application') || Win32:
+:OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit');  # get already ve Excel appli
+cation or open new

my $Book = $Excel->Workbooks->Open("C:\\Program Files\\Apache Group\\A
+pache2\\cgi-bin\\Reception.xls"); # open Excel file
$Excel->Run("collectfiles");
$Book->Close;
$Excel->quit();
