Hi, I am very interested in your solution of using OLE for perl access to the mainframe. I am trying to extend our (AIX/Windows based) environment for automated testing to the mainframe area. I have started work on a perl module that uses the Expect module on AIX to use the tn3270 emulator. But I think your approach is much better. I will try and see if I can use it with the 3270 emulator in our environment. The piece of code that you posted shows that it is a Host::PCOM module. Is it freely available? From your statement at the bottom I guess it is not. Is there a possibility for you to strip out the specific parts for your environment and publish the generic parts? I would be pleased to use it as a basis for further development and to help make this a general available perl module.
