Hi all,

Simplified, my question is "How do I create a VBA macro in my Excel document using Win32::OLE?". More specifically...

I've got a Perl script using Win32::OLE that's creating Excel documents upon running, with multiple worksheets and charts. The number of these output sheets has become large enough to warrant a "table of contents" style page.

I originally tried doing this with internal hyperlinks, but for whatever reason it's not possible to hyperlink to a chart sheet. Now I'm attempting something similar to Jon Peltier's solution (see "Hyperlink to a chart sheet").

I'd like to stay away from a "template" file with the macro already in it, and also I'm kind of curious at this point as to if it's possible to make macros from Perl.

Thank you for your time!
