Re^3: Trying to re-write some VB-OLE into PERL-OLE

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.

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested

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]
