Is your Perl x64 too? I had problems with Win32::OLE some time ago because I was trying to use COM objects on a Win7 x64 using Perl x86. Later I had problems with Perl x64 trying to access COM objects registered as 32 bit. Perl only sees registered COM objects acordingly - if Perl is x86, then only sees 32 bit objects, if Perl is x64 then only sees 64 bit objects.
I had to manually register my 32 bit dll on the COM component manager in Windows 7, under the 64 bit components but loading the 32 bit dll. I basically followed the guide in this link although I didn't do everything identical to that example: http://www.maxmind.com/GeoIP_MSCOM_64bit.pdf HTH Francisco -----Mensaje original----- From: Philip Prindeville Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2012 4:51 PM To: ActivePerl@listserv.ActiveState.com Subject: Known issues with Win32::OLE? I was originally going to check the list archives before posting, but I get a 403 from pipermail on the website, so can't do that. I'm running ActiveState perl (community version) on Win7-x64 updated, and wrote the following simple/stupid test program. #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use warnings; sub obj_cb($) { my $obj = shift; my $class = Win32::OLE->QueryObjectType($obj); printf STDERR "%s=>%s\n", $obj, $class; } my $count = Win32::OLE->EnumAllObjects(\&obj_cb); printf STDERR "count=%d\n", $count; exit 1; and running it (both as myself and as Administrator) I get: count=0 Anyone have a simple/stupid program that detects whatever programs are present that are manipulable via OLE? I'm trying to get up to speed on Win32::OLE so I can write some test-automation tools to exercise our products' GUIs.
