I am trying to start the Bentley Micrstation application on a PC where I have installed Perl 5.6 using Win32::OLE.

Currently I have:

$Bentley = Win32::OLE->new("MicroStationDGN.Application", 'Quit')
         || die "Could not start MicroStation DGN Application: ", Win3
+2::OLE->LastError();

Win32::OLE->WithEvents($Bentley, \&Event, "UserWorkspaceName");
Win32::OLE->WithEvents($Bentley, \&Event);
$Bentley->{visible} = 1;
Win32::OLE->MessageLoop();
[download]

And I get back an error about Invalid class string.

I am not really sure what I am doing and I am definatley in new territory on both fronts with the Microstation stuff as well as the Win32:OLE stuff so any help would be of great benifit to me.

The main reason I am doing this is that I am a Tester and the tools we have can not even invoke the Micrstation tool at all while what I have done in Perl has done things the tools we have can't and so they are looking to see what I can do.

Thanks for the help, Mike
