Using the Automation Interface from Perl

[sbeadle1]

Perl scripts default OLE threading model is multi-threaded, which isn't supported by the automation interface.  Fortunately there is a work around.

Any Perl script needs to include the line "Win32::OLE->Initialize( Win32::OLE::COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED );" as the first call the program makes.

The working sample is:

#!c:\perl\bin\perl.exe -wuse Win32::OLE;main:{  Win32::OLE->Initialize( Win32::OLE::COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED );  my $scx = Win32::OLE->new( 'Serck.ScxV6Server' );  $scx->connect( 'MAIN', '', '' );  $scx->FindObject( 'test' );  print Win32::OLE->LastError();}
