Re: Win32::OLE installation

Actually, if you install Win32::API, it should install the Win32::OLE module you need. I was messing with some Win32 perl the other day and realized I was going to need Win32::OLE. Without trying to install it, I just ran the script, having already installed Win32::API and it worked fine.

HTH Good luck.

I doubt that Win32::API installs Win32::OLE (it certainly didn't the list time I checked). I think that Win32::OLE comes with ActivePerl by default. I haven't installed a Perl v5.6.1 from ActiveState but Win32::OLE has certainly come with all of the previous versions of ActivePerl that I have installed. Perhaps Banky should just check whether it is already installed before trying to find it to install? `$ perl -mWin32::OLE -e "print $Win32::OLE::VERSION" 0.13` [download] - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply] [d/l]
