karayil has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, Im not able to identify the items in the application. I'm able to invole an application using $cw=win32::OLE->new("appl"); but menu items from this application is not accessible... $project = $CW->File->Open($projecttoopen, true, 0, 0)|| die "can't open a project $!"; gives error... Not able to identify what the errror is... it will be a great help, if someone helps me to identify the error.. Thanks a lot... -karayil

Can you post more code, and the exact error you get? Which menus of which application are you trying to use? C.	[reply]

Well that tells us that `$CW->File` is returning undefined. Perhaps you should call `$CW->File` the examine `Win32::OLE->LastError()`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

What's the application and what's the item you are trying to access? Also, do you have `use strict;` and `use warnings;` in your code? This will really help you out in any situation. Thanks.
