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

I keep getting this error coming back in the variable $!, after attempting to grab a reference to Excel.Application, "Bad file descriptor". I think it has to do with some sort of permission problem. I believe in Administrative Tools there is something I should be checking for COM or DCOM in order to get rid of this error. Do any of you monks know anything about using Win32::OLE and such errors associated? Thanks in advance.

    stanleyscup,

    It is usually beneficial if you can provide the code that is generating the error, and the exact error in question. Post your code and people may be able to point out the cause of the problem.

    Cheers

    Try this program 
    D:\>perl -e"print $!"
Bad file descriptor

    $! is only useful after calling something that sets it.
