Here is the perl code for that's inside the generated dll
package Hello; sub Hello { return "Hello, World"; } =pod =begin PerlCtrl %TypeLib = ( PackageName => 'Hello', # DO NOT edit the next 3 lines. TypeLibGUID => '{E91B25C6-2B15-11D2-B466-0800365DA902}', ControlGUID => '{E91B25C7-2B15-11D2-B466-0800365DA902}', DispInterfaceIID=> '{E91B25C8-2B15-11D2-B466-0800365DA902}', ControlName => 'HelloWorldControl', ControlVer => 1, ProgID => 'Hello.World', DefaultMethod => '', Methods => { 'Hello' => { RetType => VT_BSTR, TotalParams => 0, NumOptionalParams => 0, ParamList =>[ ] }, }, # end of 'Methods' Properties => { } , # end of 'Properties' ); # end of %TypeLib =end PerlCtrl =cut
and here is the VB code that would access it:
Dim objHello Set objHello = CreateObject("Hello.World") MsgBox objHello.Hello
Seems fairly simple but I'm having a brain cramp or something :)
