(bbfu) Re (ATL COM): IActiveDesktop::SetWallpaper from Perl?

[bbfu]

Thanks, blm. This seems like the best solution so far to me. Unfortunately, I don't have Visual Studio. :( Do you know if it's possible to create a COM object, or even just create an IActiveDesktop instance, with a normal C++ compiler? I have Bloodshed Dev C++ (basically an IDE for the mingw compiler). Would it be impractical to create a COM object with that? Any pointers on how to go about it if it's feasable?

Anyway, thanks again! :)

From the FAQ

Is support provided for COM? MinGW has some support for COM programs. Programmers have had much better luck writing COM applications in C than C++. Work is in progress to improve support. Check the MinGW mailing list archives for more details on COM and more links to example files.

I am sorry I can't offer more then that. All I can say is good luck if you go this way
