How to use Win32::OLE in unix box

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

I am trying to create Power Point presentation through Perl using some modules.
The Pre-requisite for my script is Win32::OLE which is supported only on windows.
I am using UNIX environment for creating my script.
Is there any alternate module which we can use in unix Os. I searched using super search and found that using "wine - third party software" we can use Win32::OLE in the following node, "How to install Win32::OLE under Linux?".
But I like to use without any thirdparty software.
Any help will be more appreciated.

But I like to use without any thirdparty software. Win32::OLE is 3rd party, OLE is 3rd party, PowerPoint is 3rd party, so whats some more 3rd party software? You can always re-invent everything yourself, but that might take a couple of years.	[reply]
