No, there should be no need for the "undef"; Perl does this automatically
(for lexical variables only, off course).

If it happens in VBS too then it is obviously a Word problem. :-) VBA is
different, because it runs in-process whereas Perl and VBS use Word as an
out-of-process component.
You might want to try to use a different threading model, but I believe
VBS already uses a STA by default, so it's doubtful it will help.
