Your right it seems to point back to itself. The actual problem is that where I expect the data to be is not there. Here is the output of the dump:

$VAR2 = [
      bless( {
            'Properties' => bless ( {
                                      'Count' => 102,
                                      'Item' => undef
                                     }, 'Win32::OLE'),
                   'AbsolutePosition

                   'EOF' => 0,
                   'Fields' => bless ( {
                                      'Count' => 5,
                                      'Item' => undef
                                     }, 'Win32::OLE'),
                   'LockType' => 1,
                   'MaxRecords' => 0
                   'RecordCount' =>

                   'DataSource' => $VAR2->[0],
                   'ActiveCommand' =
                   'StayInSync' => 1
                   'DataMember' => '

        ];

I expect the data to be in the Item keys but they are undef. Has anyone worked the returned data from an OLE event?
