Hi, I am using win32::OLE to draw chart in MS Excel & then exporting it to a png file. I was able to draw graph on excel & save it. but am getting an error while exporting it to the png file. Exporting part of the script is as follows. 
use Win32::OLE qw(in with);
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel';
use Win32::OLE::Variant;
use Win32::OLE::NLS qw(:LOCALE :DATE);
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const;
$Win32::OLE::Warn = 3; # die on errors...



my $filter = 'PNG'; # can be GIF, JPG, JPEG or PNG    

$filename = "C:\\graph1.xls";
my $Excel = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application')
        || Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit'); # use the Exc
+el application if it's open, otherwise open new
        my $Book = $Excel->Workbooks->Open( $filename ); # open the fi
+le
        foreach my $Sheet (in $Book->Sheets) { # loop through all shee
+ts
        foreach my $ChartObj (in $Sheet->ChartObjects) { # loop throug
+h all chartobjects in the sheet
        #$pngsave = join("",split(/\s+/,$graphtitle));
        $dirpath = "c:\\ExcelTest";
        mkdir ("$dirpath", 0777); 
        my $savename = "$dirpath\\test" . ".$filter";
        
        
        # Write image to PNG file
        $ChartObj->Chart->Export({
        FileName => $savename1,
        FilterName => $filter,
        Interactive => 0});
        
        }
        }
