Re^2: What is the difference: Calling a (c based) program OR inline c code

and use it through Win32::OLE

That would be an ass-back'ards way of doing things.

Inline::C creates a dll from the C code and puts the glue in place to load and call it.
You can access the functions in any DLL via Win32::API.

Using Win32::OLE is about more black magic than just about any other module. Jumping through the hoops required to create an OLE callable DLL--just so you can access it via that module--is really seeking out the path of most resistance.
