Dear monks,

I'm not very good at windows object and i encounter a problem when using Win32::OLE .

Here is what i do: 

use Win32::OLE qw (in);
my $Computer=".";
my $WMIServices= Win32::OLE->GetObject("winmgmts:\\\\" . $Computer . "
+\\root\\cimv2");
my $test=SubclassesOf $WMIServices;
use Data::Dumper; 
print Dumper($test);

This gives the following result : 
$VAR1 = bless( {
                 'Count' => 626,
                 'Security_' => bless( {
                                         'ImpersonationLevel' => 3,
                                         'AuthenticationLevel' => 6,
                                         'Privileges' => bless( {
                                                                  'Count' => 0
                                                                }, 'Win32::OLE' )
                                       }, 'Win32::OLE' )
               }, 'Win32::OLE' );

The problem is that when i look at the properties of $test with the Visual Basic Espions I see a whole lot of other objects, named "Item 1" to "Item 256" . Here's what i do in VB : 

 
Set test = objWMIService.SubclassesOf()

My question is what are those Item objects and why am i not seeing them with Perl ?

Thanks for your explanations :)

In reply to WMI SubclassesOf $WMIServices not giving all the objects ? by secret
