win32-ole

The Win32::OLE module provides OLE Automation capabilities to Perl. It is based on the OLE module distributed by ActiveState with their "Perl for Win32" port of Perl 5.003_07. Win32::OLE replaces the older OLE module, which is now considered obsolete. Win32::OLE is already included in the ActivePerl binary distribution.

This module is compatible with Perl 5.004_01 and above. Compilation requires either Microsoft Visual C++ 4.2b or later, or Borland C++ version 4.02 or above.

Do:

perl Makefile.PL $make $make test $make install

where $make is either "nmake" or "dmake".

See the pod documentation for details of usage.

The file NEWS.pod contains a history of user visible changes against the previous version.

WARNING This version of the module contains ALPHA level support for OLE events. This support doesn't work yet for some OLE controls and the user interface is still subject to change!
