in thread Win32::OLE Excel Last Column problem,

I can't tell if you're joking, but the "IV" in the OP's question isn't a Roman numeral: it's the 256th column in an Excel spreadsheet, starting with "A".

If it was a joke, then here's another way to get it:

my $lastcol = "A"; $lastcol++ for 1..255;
