Dear Monks, I am a novice PERL programmer and I came across a software application for windows xp that converts MS Word documents over to PDF. The program developers state that PERL can be used to communicate with the program. The problem is I have very little experience with OOP. The software company gave an example using PHP:

<?php $oLoader = new COM("easyPDF.Loader.6");
try
{
$oPrinter = $oLoader->LoadObject("easyPDF.Printer.6");
$oPrintJob = $oPrinter->PrintJob;
$oPrintJob->PrintOut ("C:\input.doc", "C:\output.doc.pdf");
print "Success";
}
Did I transform this over correctly?

use Win32::OLE;
my $PDF1 = Win32::OLE->new('easyPDF.Loader.6');
$PDF2 = $PDF1->LoadObject('easyPDF.Printer.6');
$PDF3 = $PDF2->PrintJob;
$oldfile = "C:\\Test\\sample.doc";
$newfile = "C:\\Test\\sample.pdf";
$PDF3->PrintOut ("$oldfile", "$newfile");
print "Success";
