I don't have any experience with IIS, but if the script works properly from the command-line but not from the webserver, it might be a permissions problem running under the webserver's user.

It had to do with Excel not closing properly after the first itme and this message popping up each time after it got initialized. I do have another problem however. Setting the Visible property for the Excel application doesn't show Excel as it does when running from the DOS prompt. When trying to add a chart I hear the Excel help pop up (the beeping noise when the paper-clip helper pops up) but since I can't make the application visible I can't see what the helper is showing. Basically is there a way to make Excel visible here and (if not) how can I find out what the helper is prompting/asking for (is there a way to turn off this feature from coming up altogether)? Trying every discussion in the world for the past 2 days I'm uncertain if I am part of the mailing list. If possible could you do a quick check and, if I'm not, add me to it. Thanks so much for the help. Really appreciate it. Rob On 8 Dec 2005 at 18:40, Daniel R.

Message-ID: <20051212174008.29211.qmail@web54701.mail.yahoo.com> ... from Perl. When I try using the visible property of an Excel application in Perl it doesn't display Excel when running the module from a CGI script in the browser but when running/testing it from the DOS prompt it does display it. Is there a way I can accomplish this task when running the script from the browser? Also if I attempt opening a spreadsheet and use Perl to make changes to the spreadsheet and then try to save it (all using Perl in the "background") I end up hearing the bell indicating Excel looking for input from the user. In most cases it is because the file already exists and it's probably asking whether the user wants to overwrite or not. Is there a parameter to pass to the Save method to always say overwrite?

In-Reply-To: <20051214205411.37352.qmail@web54715.mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: Robert, My guess at this point is that nobody on the kw.pm list has experience to share on Perl interaction with Excel under Win32::OLE, since there haven't been any responses to your posts. The standard first recommendation (since your questions suggest you've been going it alone until now) is to read the manpages and do a few web searches. For excample, I just googled for 'Win32::OLE excel'. One link that stands out as potentially useful is from PerlMonks, an excellent resource for all Perl programmers, if you haven't visited that site before. "Using Win32::OLE and Excel - Tips and Tricks" http://www.perlmonks.org/?node=153486 In a quick look, it seems they mention turning off warning dialogs, which I believe was one of your questions. If that doesn't satisfy fully, you might try locating an email list specific to Win32::OLE, or perhaps a list for ActiveState or Cygwin Perl (whichever kind of Perl you're using). I'm not sure if part of the problem you're having is with wrapping your head around Perl Object Oriented code? That can be one of the early stumbling-blocks for people familiar with other languages. If so, I recommend the book "Learning Perl Objects, References & Modules." We have a copy in our Lending Library, which you're welcome to borrow for a month. Let me know, and I can bring it tomorrow evening. Also, we're happy to answer questions about OO Perl- unfortunately, the best I can do for your questions is to recommend other sources...

Whoa - I've got to stop smoking that stuff ;-) From matt at sergeant.org Fri Dec 16 06:50:10 2005 From: matt at sergeant.org (Matt Sergeant) Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2005 09:50:10 -0500 Subject: [kw-pm] Perlski Message-ID: <0319dd9af3b6ca605596649c9bc490e2@sergeant.org> So given that nobody was drunk last night (this is a very strange group of mongers, but I'll leave that for another night)... I assume we were all vaguely serious about Perlski. So here's the web site for Chicopee: http://skichicopee.com/ Basic summary is it's quite pricey - $23 for 2 hours or $28 for 4 (I'm not sure my body can take 4 hours yet!) for the lift pass. Or if you only want to go on the beginner's slopes you can get a $15 lift pass. Then rental is $20 for 2 hours or $25 for 4. Obviously it works out a lot cheaper if you have your own gear. But it *is* fun, and worth the price IMHO (it's cheaper than the UK). I'd suggest we go in the new year, say the first Thursday of the year? Matt.

My initial thought is to make a Saturday afternoon or evening of it, though I haven't looked at the chicopee site to see how late they are open. I'm game for 4 hours. ...I think it'll take me at least an hour to remember how to avoid spearing myself in the foot with the poles. ...Checking the site: they're open till 9:30 mon-Sat (and sunday, but I don't expect we'll want to do that; makes for a creaky monday workday) > > Obviously it works out a lot cheaper if you have your own gear.

I'm free Thursday the 5th and Saturday the 7th...

I would ski, Kiirstin would snowboard. Are there any other skiers?
