I'm following an article (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/office/OCRSampleApplication.aspx) to try using OCR in ActivePerl 5.10.0 but without any luck. The following minimal code keeps failing at the Create step and I don't understand why. Any idea what's going on? Thanks :) 

use warnings;
use strict;
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const;

Win32::OLE::Const->Load("Microsoft Office Document Imaging 12\.0 Type 
+Library") or die "Cannot use the Office 2007 OCR API";
my $miDoc = Win32::OLE->new('MODI.Document') or die "Cannot create a M
+ODI object";
$miDoc->Create('E:/ocr-test.tif') or die "Cannot open the file for OCR
+";
