Hello, I have learned a ton about OLE from you guys but there is very little documentation on the internet about OLE as it pertains to PCOM so there arent may examples to study. Corion, yours is a great example but I have a few issues.

1. package Host::PCOM; #<-what is the signifigance of this?

2. my ($class,$connection_name) = @_; #<- changed this to $class = "pcsws" and $connection_name = "P"

3. my $hostname = 'WSConfig'; #<-changed this to $hostname = "MFrame1.ws"

So I can spawn the PCOM session successfully. But I get errors when I try to read the presentation space. I think the problem is that I dont know exactly what parameters to send to the screen sub for @_. I tried hard coding @_ to lots of different values, just guessing at it. Can you tell me what parameters you are passing to the sub. Error message below.....

Error message - "Can't locate object method "cols" via package "P" (perhaps you forgot to load "P"?) at C:\(path snipped)\MFtest.pl line 76."

4. my ($self) = "@_"; #<-What value is expected from @_?

Thanks in advance for your help.
