Hi @ all, in recent days I try to talk about Perl with Excel 2007 (about WIN32::OLE). I want to create a Pivot table + chart. But I couldn't create a chart Title. Please help me.... For a better understanding my perl code: 
#! perl -w

use warnings;
use strict;

use Win32::OLE ;

my $excel = Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application');
$excel->{'Visible'} = 1;

my $workbook = $excel -> Workbooks -> Add;

my $sheet = $workbook->Sheets("Tabelle1");
$sheet -> Range('A1')->{'Value'} = "Temp [°C]";
$sheet -> Range('B1')->{'Value'} = "Vcc [V]";
$sheet -> Range('C1')->{'Value'} = "Vio [V]";
$sheet -> Range('D1')->{'Value'} = "Ivcc [mA]";

$sheet -> Range('A2:D3')->{'Value'} = [
['1', '2', '3', '4' ],
['5', '6', '7', '8' ],
];

my $sheet2 = $workbook-> Sheets -> Add;
$sheet -> select;
#&sheet2->Shapes->AddChart->Select;
#ActiveChart->SetSourceData Source->Range("Tabelle4!$A$1:$C$18");

#$workbook->PivotChaches->Add{SourceType=>1,SourceData=>'Tabelle1!Z1S1
+:Z3S4'})->({TableDestination=>'Tabelle4!Z1S1', TableName=>'PivotTable
+1'});

my $pivot=$workbook->PivotTableWizard( {
SourceType => 1,
SourceData => 'Tabelle1!Z1S1:Z3S4',
TableDestination => "Tabelle4!Z1S1",
TableName => "PivotTable1",
HasAutoFormat => 1
});

$pivot->PivotFields("Vcc [V]")->{Orientation} = 1; # 4=xlDataField
$pivot->PivotFields("Temp [°C]")->{Orientation} = 2; # 4=xlDataField
$pivot->PivotFields("Vio [V]")->{Orientation} = 1; # 4=xlDataField
$pivot->PivotFields("Ivcc [mA]")->{Orientation} = 4; # 4=xlDataField
$pivot->PivotFields("Summe von Ivcc [mA]")->{Function} = 2; #{Caption}
+ = "Mittelwert von Ivcc [mA]";

$sheet2->Range('F1')->Select;
my $chart=$sheet2->Shapes->AddChart(65);
$sheet2->chartObjects("Diagramm 1")->Activate;
$chart->{HasTitle} = 1;
$chart->ChartTitle->{Text} = "Some Title";

$excel -> Quit;

The lines 
$chart->{HasTitle} = 1;
$chart->ChartTitle->{Text} = "Some Title";

didn't work. Why?

Some additional questions:

Where can I find information/documentation on the "Perl excel syntax"?

Can I control excel completely with the WIN32::OLE modul?

Thanks for working on this topic

Best Regards
