Need Help??

crenz has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I've perused the documentation of Win32::OLE, but it mentions nothing about creating your own COM/OLE servers. How can I prove to my colleague that this can indeed be done using Perl? :)

You can´t. At least not with pure Perl. But there is the PerlDevKit from ActiveState, that contains PerlCtrl, a tool to write ActiveX-Dlls. holli, /regexed monk/	[reply] [d/l]

See the item on Windows Script Components in the ActivePerl documentation. Also you might want to see the MSDN Documents on the subject. /J\	[reply]

Using Windows Script Components (WSC) you can put PerlScript inside *.wsc files, register them into the local COM registry, and then load up your Perl-COM components from anything else that can use COM. No compiling necessary. Take a look at ActiveState's description: http://www.xav.com/perl/Windows/windows_script_components.html	[reply]
