Syntax::Highlight::Perl PPM problem in 5.10 repo ?

I need to generate some HTML for some perl code, so I thought I would try Syntax::Highlight::Perl. I used ppm to install it, but I was not able to use the module (not found). Upon further investigation, I found that only a Syntax::Highlight::Perl6 package was installed. When I do a search, her

Help with slow startup

I have a slow startup problem with a library I have written. The observed behavior is that perl scripts that use my library *intermittently* take 30 seconds to startup. If I run them again immediately thereafter, they drop back down to about 10 seconds to startup. If I wait for some time (sever

Re: WIN32::OLE WMI Out params

I haven't followed your thread closely, but it seems like the relevant bits from your first link are these: my $objSecDescriptor = Win32::OLE::Variant-> new (VT_DISPATCH|VT_BYREF); my $retval = $objDirectorySecSetting->GetSecurityDescriptor($objSecDescriptor); ..which seems to be filling the $obj

Net::XMPP

Just curious if anyone out there has experience getting Net::XMPP to work with perl 5.8.x on windows? I did manage to get it installed (via ppm), but I'm encountering some runtime errors that make me think more packages are required (it seems to be complaining about Authen::SASL::Cyrus at the mom

Win32::OLE and script components with perl 5.10

I've recently upgraded to activeperl 5.10 (looks like it's build 1004) and I've just noticed that I can no longer instantiate my script components (which are written in "PerlScript"). Specifically, the perl interpreter process crashes. So, wanting to eliminate my WSCs, I went back to basics and t

Adding to the perl include search path

Win32 users: What's the best way to add a new path to perl's @INC search path? Our product installs several perl modules and I would like to make those modules available to all perl scripts without asking users to add the 'use lib "mypath"' business in every script. I'm only concerned with window

Win32::TieRegistry question

Win32-ers, Does anyone know off-hand what TieRegistry should do with a statment like this: $Registry->{'LMachine/Software/Bar'} = {'SubKey/' => { '/SomeValue' => 1 }}; ..specifically, with respect to the type of the SomeValue entry? I had thought that it would create a DWORD value since the val

Win32 Users, I would like to accept OLE Events in my script - I've written working code that successfully receives events. Now I want to also receive some console (stdin) input. I typically use Term::Readline for this, although I'm happy to try something else. The basic problem is that Win3

I have a COM component with a property defined like this (IDL): [propput, id(30), helpstring("property TestSuite")] HRESULT TestSuite([in] IUnknown *pVal); [propget, id(30), helpstring("property TestSuite")] HRESULT TestSuite([out, retval] IUnknown **ppVal); ..basically it gets/sets a dual int

ppm repository for 5.10

Many thanks to the people at ActiveState for all the work in getting us a release of 5.10. I've been holding off on upgrading for the package compatibility problem. Is there now a complete ppm repository available for 5.10? Are there any packages that were available in 5.8 that are no longer avai

Can Win32::OLE access methods/props marked as hidden in the IDL? There happens to be one property we have marked as such and I tried the naive thing: my $secret = $object->HiddenProperty ...and it was rejected. Is there some way to ask Win32::OLE to ignore the hidden attribute? TIA, Mike Eller
