Any chance you could try this instead...
VARIANT(VT_ARRAY|VT_BSTR, "Payload")
Since it looks like you want an Array string, not an Array of unsigned
integers...
[id(3)] HRESULT SetDataBits([in] long Bitlength, [in] SAFEARRAY(char)
*ppsa);
I could be wrong, but I'd play around with the Variant stuff to pass in
other forms to the Variant Array since it is complaining there.

Hello Jan,
Sorry to bother you, but I have been trying to find a
solution to pass a UDP payload from Perl to a COM server without much
luck.
I would very much like to get your input on this.
My first go at it is to try passing in a
VARIANT(VT_ARRAY|VT_UI1, "Payload") to an IDL interface method of the
following.
my $Data = Variant(VT_ARRAY|VT_UI1, "Payload");
my $DataUnit = $SDU->{DataUnit};
$DataUnit->SetDataBits($BitLength, $Data);
[id(3)] HRESULT SetDataBits([in] long Bitlength, [in]
SAFEARRAY(char) *ppsa);
However Perl is complaining about a type mismatch.
[4216:0183F33C] Dispatch "SetDataBits"
[4216:0183F33C] QueryPkgVar(Win32::OLE::Warn) returns 1
[4216:0183F33C] ReportOleError: hr=0x80020005 warnlvl=1
Win32::OLE(0.1709-QC1) error 0x80020005: "Type mismatch"
in METHOD/PROPERTYGET "SetDataBits" argument
2[4216:0183F33C]
Win32::OLE::Tie::Fetch(0x01931f94,'___Perl___OleObject___')
Can you shine some light as to what I am doing horribly
wrong? Is there a better way of passing a byteArray to COM?
Because the Perl Socket interface returns UDP packets as
scalars, I am wondering what the most efficient method to pass that to
COM.
Thanks very much in advance,
David
