Hi Monks, I've recently learned a little bit about creating Excel spreadsheets with Win32::OLE but I've run into a few problems that I can't figure out: I can't change the scaling of my worksheet nor can I print it. To set the page scaling to 1x1 I have tried: 
use Win32::OLE;

my $application = Win32::OLE -> new "Excel.Application";
my $workbook = $application -> Workbooks -> Add;
my $worksheet = $workbook -> Worksheets(1);

$worksheet -> PageSetup -> {FitToPagesWide} = 1;
$worksheet -> PageSetup -> {FitToPagesTall} = 1;

[download]
but that doesn't work; may you please let me know what I'm doing wrong and how it may be fixed? And I don't even know where to start for printing; I have Adobe Professional and would like to print my worksheet as a PDF, so in addition to selecting my printer how would I state what I want the "hardcopy" to be named? I would really like to use Win32::OLE rather than Spreadsheet::WriteExcel, and any help that you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
