Dear Monks,
I am Not good in VBA, and I would like to convert a VBA Macro to Perl. After reading few help pages from ActivePerl site. I wrote a Perl code. Now it is giving following error
Can't modify non-lvalue subroutine call at rapid.pl line 16.
My VBA Macro goes as follows
VBA Macro

Selection.HomeKey wdStory
Selection.Text = "This is the inserted text 1"
Selection.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
Selection.TypeParagraph
Selection.Text = "This is the inserted text 2"
Selection.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
Selection.TypeParagraph

and my Perl script goes as follows.
Perl Script

use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Word';
use Cwd;

my ($file) = @ARGV;
my $cwd_path = getcwd();
$cwd_path=~ s/\//\\/gs;
my $file_name = "$cwd_path\\$file";
my $Word = Win32::OLE->new('Word.Application');

$Word->{'Visible'} = 1;     
$Word->Documents->Open($file_name) || die("Unable to open document", W
+in32::OLE->LastError());;
$Word->Selection->HomeKey (wdStory);
$Word->Selection->Text="This is the inserted text";
$Word->Selection->Collapse (wdCollapseEnd);
$Word->Selection->TypeParagraph;
$Word->Selection->Text("This is the inserted text 2");
$Word->Selection->Collapse (wdCollapseEnd);
$Word->Selection->TypeParagraph;
$Word->Documents($file_name)->Save();
$Word->Quit();

I searched from 'SuperSearch' but could Not receive satisfactory information. I would be grateful, if somebody could guide me on this. I don't expect straightforward solutions but if you could direct me to any good tutorials on this topic, I would be grateful to you.
Regards,
Sandeep
Update
Dear All,
Thanks to all for your support. It was my lack of knowledge that I was using "Text" instead of "TypeText". Thanks to marto for providing this hint.
