Problem using Win32::OLE on apache

Hello dear Monks,

I have this code :

my $Excel = Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application') or die "Could not sta
+rt excel";

$Excel->{'Visible'}     = 0;
$Excel->{DisplayAlerts} = 0;

my $file = "E:/www/aglocal/Inlook/excel/facture.xls";

if ( -e $file ) {

    print h1( 'found' );
}
else {

    print h1( 'NOT found' );
}

if ( -r $file ) {

    print h1( 'readable' );
}
else {

    print h1( 'NOT readable' );
}

if ( -w $file ) {

    print h1( 'writable' );
}
else {

    print h1( 'NOT writable' );
}

my $Book = $Excel->Workbooks->Open ( "$file" ) 
    or die "$! : $file\n"; # open Excel file

[download]

output :

found
readable
writable
Software error:
Bad file descriptor : E:/www/aglocal/Inlook/excel/facture.xls
[download]

This code works on the server I used until now, but not on a win32 apache 2.2.8

Is there something I missed about apache ?

Have a nice day !

It's hard to say exactly what sort of error might be happening but you can use `Win32::OLE->LastError` to retrieve the detailed message ($! will contain something invalid, probably a non-sequitur).	[reply] [d/l]
