Re: Calling COM method

You created the Win32::OLE object as $RL but you're trying to use $RiskLib in the next line.
my $myoutput = $RiskLib->RiskLibVersion->Call(1); does not appear to be a direct translation of call MyObject.RLVersion(1,y) so how did you arrive at this Perl statement?

RL vs RiskLib : I just copied the code over wrong. Sorry about that. My problem is that I don't know how to translate the CALL to perl. I have tried and searched through the perldocs, win32::api, this site and googled. When I try the following I get the error "Can not call method "RiskLibVersion" on an undefined value at myprog.pl line 3 `use Win32::OLE qw(in with); my $RL = Win32::OLE->new('RiskLib.RiskLibclass') or die "oops\n"; call $RL->RiskLibVersion(1,$y); print $y;` [download] Thanks Stephen	[reply] [d/l]

use Win32::OLE qw(in with);
my $RL = Win32::OLE->new('RiskLib.RiskLibclass') or die "oops\n";
call $RL->RiskLibVersion(1,$y);
print $y;
