yes sorry i had to retype it all because this machine that has access to the Internet is not on the Intranet where im coding :( i finally FTP the files over and here is an exact copy and paste of what i had previously was messed up (added the prints from a previous reply as well

package CLUILogger;

use Win32::OLE;
use Exporter;
@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT=qw(LogInit LogIT);

#Example Logline with all things described
#LogIT($mylog,
#      '5(loglevel def 5)',
#      'INFO(category info/error/etc)',
#      'TESTING(function)',
#      'TESTING2(blank or further action inside function)',
#      "This is my logged line");

sub LogInit{
  my $appname       = $_[0];
  my $module        = $_[1];
  my $apploglevel   = $_[2];
  $NewLogObj = Win32::OLE->new('LOGGERHELPER.UILogHelp');
  print "Ref is ", ref $NewLogObj, "\n";
  print Win32::OLE->LastError(), "\n" unless ($NewLogObj);
  $NewLog0bj->{LogLevel} = $apploglevel;
  $NewLog0bj->{AppName}  = $appname;
  $NewLog0bj->{Module}   = $module;
  Win32::MsgBox('my log is "'.$NewLogObj.'"');
  return $NewLogObj;
}
sub LogIT {
  my $LogObj        = $_[0];
  my $loglevel         = $_[1];
  my $category         = $_[2];
  my $activity         = $_[3];
  my $subactivity    = $_[4];
  my $logstring     = $_[5];

#$LogObj = bless($LogObj, Win32::OLE);
if ($LogObj->{LogLevel} < $loglevel) {
 $LogObj->LogMessage($LogObj->{AppName},$category,$activity,$subactivi
+ty,$logstring);
}

}

and here is the code that is calling it from the perl file

$mylog = LogInit('LSEUI', 'UI', $thisloglevel);

LogIT($mylog, '1', 'INFO', 'STARTUP', '',
      'LSEUI Starting...User="'.$usercheck . '"'
      );
