I finally figured out.
I have had "Mastering Regular Expression" for years but could never get very
far. Since, I finally figured out I was looking for extended ascii
characters.
On page 296, I found the expression "$NonASCII= '\x80-\xff'. When I

I'd like to see if some C code will speed some routines up. Is
"perlxstut" the place to start?
I guess I need to use MS VC, or compile Perl with Mingw32 first if I
want to use Mingw32?
Btw, can I compile extensions with MS VC 5.0 although the latest
ActivePerl is compiled with, afaik, 6.0?

Doh! I knew it would be something easy. I had typed
'or' so it was more readable. Something clicked in my
head about precedence, but I ignored it.
Many thanks!

Two possibilities I would check. First, you forgot to check whether the
Excel object was properly created. Second, 'or' has a lower precedence than
assignment, so
$Excel = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application') or
Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit');
is equivelant t
I have written a large number of scripts using OLE and
Excel, but I'm getting something strange now.
Here are the relevant portions of the script:
$Excel = Win32::OLE->
GetActiveObject('Excel.Application') or Win32::OLE->
new('Excel.Application', 'Quit'); # This is one line
$Excel->Workbooks->Op
