Have you tried using: Win32::Sleep() to create the delay?

I don't think sleep can help (native or Win32) since I need to exit the event routine so that the OLE event loop can continue to run and possibly send additional events. I think what I'm looking for is a perl callback timer mechanism that is consistent with Win32::OLE. A com object callback timer might work.	[reply]

What about using `Win32::OLE->SpinMessageLoop()` and creating your own timer loop.	[reply] [d/l]
