Win32::OLE doesn't work correctly in a multithreaded program because the COM subsystem isn't being initialized in the additional threads. Perl also doesn't know that it needs to increment the COM reference counts when it duplicates Win32::OLE objects during thread creation. I'll look into it once shared variables work more reliable in Perl. The error you are seeing however might be just one of the several threading bugs that are still in Perl 5.8. Please try again once Perl 5.8.1 is released.
