If the above script is executed in the CGI Mode I found the error
Win32::OLE(0.1403) error 0x80070005: "Access is denied" at ...... line 7
It throws the error on creating the Excel Object i.e. on
Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit');
Whether any Permission has to be provied to access the Excel Application thru Apache under CGI mode.
FYI While Using the SpreadSheet::WriteExcel module I am able to create and write an Excel file in the respective folder "c:\tmp\".
I have spend lot of hrs in this, but I am unable to find the solution.
I am new to the win32Perl. So Kind Comments/Suggestions will be of great helpfull.
