Good Morning Monks,
I hope this is a Perl question and will not turn out to be an ActiveState issue.
I need to create an Excel chart in a script, and looking through this site I found Win32::OLE which seemed an excellent choice, and I found all the documentation I needed through Win32::OLE.
However, when I wanted to actually put this all to use, I found the ppm (Perl Package Manager) had no access to the appropriate files, even though the on-site documentation said it should, and no ppd file present.

• Does anybody know if Win32::OLE is being phased out or something? (Or phased in? ;0)
• If so, what is replacing it? (I need something in ppd format for out installation people)
• What modules have you found useful for OLE?
• I am using perl version 5.005_02, ppm version 0.9.5.

Your inputs welcome, (sorry for being so Windozish so early in the morning...)
perchance
