Barcode Label printing via Win32::OLE

[perlcgi]

Hi guys, I'm trying to print a bunch of barcodes, (PNG files I created earlier with GD::Barcode), using Word and the builtin setups for Avery labels. I reckoned this would be easier than getting out a ruler and messing with HTML::Table. The following code creates a page of the appropriately sized labels, but just inserts all the barcodes into the first cell of the table, rather than a separate barcode into each cell. That's where I'm stuck. I don't have time right now to learn the Word object model, and I need the labels today. Can anyone help? TIA Perlcgi

#!perl 
use Win32::OLE qw(in with);
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Word';
$Win32::OLE::Warn = 2;

my $Word = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Word.Application')
    || Win32::OLE->new('Word.Application', 'Quit');
$Word->{'Visible'} = 1;
$Word->Documents->Add || die("Unable to create document ",
                              Win32::OLE->LastError());
my $MyRange = $Word->ActiveDocument->Content;
#Label L7651 is the one we want
$Word->MailingLabel->CreateNewDocument({Name=>'L7651', Address=>"", 
        AutoText=>"ToolsCreateLabels1",
        LaserTray=>wdPrinterManualFeed});
my ($row,$col)=(1,1); 

#Each barcode is in a separate file like 99990000.png
for (my $x = 99990000; $x<99990065;$x++) {
    my $file = "C:\\mbc\\$x.png";
    if ($col > 5) {
    $col = 1;
    $row++;
    }
    $Word->ActiveDocument->Tables(1)->Cell($row,$col)->Select;    
    $Word->Selection->InlineShapes->AddPicture(
               {FileName=>$file, 
                LinkToFile=>'False', 
                SaveWithDocument=>'True'});    
}
print Win32::OLE->LastError();

Where is $col being incremented?

Of course, how stupid of me. Thanks for taking the trouble rdfield.

Can you email me some sample code of your GD::BARCODE generation and may be help me with this idea? I want to generate one barcode from a mysql database number and then print it. I am entering users in a mysql database from a web form. When I hit submit it auto-increments the member numbers. I then want to print out a bar code from the database member number and prefer to have it when I hit the submit button to add the member but would also like the option to reprint it if I like. Can you help? email is [e-mail]
