in reply to Win32::OLE, TPJ#10, linux

Win32::OLE is extremely tightly coupled to Windows. Essentially the C code in the OLE XS simply provides you access to the native Win32 OLE API. For example one of the first includes is #include <windows.h> ;-)

What is it you want to do? If the (guess) task is to read/write to an Access database or similar they may be other options.

    Sadly we need native Windows actions on native Windows objects and files -- we wish it were just Access (and could sue DBI) or Excel (and use Spreadsheet::WriteExcle). Sadly it is more full-blown and windows painful.

    Thank you very much.
