Re^2: Trying to re-write some VB-OLE into PERL-OLE

Do you do any Perl OLE programming yourself, DragonChild? I do... and while I don't know anything about this "Library" component's object model, what juo wrote looks like perfectly fine Perl code, except for the missing parentheses around the condition of the if statement.

I have tried to get into OLE, but the documentation from the Perl side is poor and I don't like reading Microsoft's docs. They assume too much about what you're trying to do. shrugs I still maintain that if the VB code works, it should remain in VB, but that's just my opinion. ------ We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age. Then there are Damian modules.... sigh* ... that's not about being less-lazy -- that's about being on some really good drugs -- you know, there is no spoon.* - flyingmoose I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested	[reply]

You have a valid point; I can't count the hours I've wasted rewriting stuff just for the heck'a. But OTOH, translating code from a language you know into a language you don't is one of the ways you can gain some familiarity with it. (Of course, it should be only a small part of this nutritious breakfast... ;-)	[reply]
