Your attention please.

Her Holiness, the High Priestess of the Church of Rover the Sushidog, the
earthly mouthpiece of Rover Himself, Hester, has called forth a crusade
for sushi in Oxford. All crusaders wishing to take up chopsticks in the
name of Rover are to gather for the quest from 7pm at the Turf on Thursday
17th October, Anno Domini 2002. The quest will depart at 7:30pm for the
restaurant known as Edamame, where great quantities of sushi will be
consumed in celebration of Rover, and of sushi. Sake will almost certainly
be drunk, leaving the High Priestess in a state of blissful divine revelation
(or as she calls it, "squiffy").

This (admittedly rather inactive) member of the list is the licensee
for the event, so I'll be there!

If any perlmongers do come along then do ask after me - I'd like an
opportunity to say "hi!" and put some names to faces.

Thanks for the ad, Kake! :-)

I'm definitely be interested in that, though I'm not sure when I'll be
going yet.

Heh. And there was me going for a nice quiet sober weekend in... still,
there's only one Hop Back ale, which is rather annoying. Will probably
pootle along Friday night and Saturday.

Good Day



I got your information from PM. If you could help me I would appreciate it!



I am trying to access a Com DLL using Perl. The DLL was written in Visual
Basic and return a "ByRef szData as String" Variable. When I pass Data to
it, it receives the data and works. The problem is when retrieving data back
from this DLL. The Visual Basic String is equal to BSTR under Visual C. I
need to return Data back from the DLL. If anybody know how to solve this I
would appreciate it



use strict;

use Win32::OLE;



use Text::ParseWords;

Win32::OLE->Initialize ( Win32::OLE::COINIT_OLEINITIALIZE );



my $ReaderList;

my @Readers;

my $Reader;

my $Data;

my $ucData;

my $card;

my $Error;

my $count;

my $iRet = -1;

my $iLen;

my $pReader = \$Reader;

my $pData   = \$ucData;

my $pError  = \$Error;

my $filename;



$card = Win32::OLE->new ( "MSCard.SomeCard" ) or die "Oops!!\n";



$ReaderList = $card->GetCardReaderList( $pError );



@Readers = &quotewords(',', 0, $ReaderList);

foreach $Reader( @Readers )

{

 $iRet = $card->ConnectToCard ( 0, $pReader, $pError );

 if ( $iRet == 0 )

 {

  last;

 }

}



if ( $iRet == 0 )

{

 $filename = "/SerialNo";

 $iLen = $card->GetFileLen($filename, $pError);

 print "File Length: $iLen\n";

 if ( $iLen < 0 )

 {

  print "Error $Error\n";

 }



 $iRet = $card->GetSerialNo( $pData, $pError);

}



print  "Card:         $card\n";

print  "ReaderList:   $ReaderList\n";

print  "Reader:       $Reader\n";

print  "Error:        $Error\n";

printf "iRet:         %d\n", $iRet;

print  "Data:         $Data\n";

OK, wasabi freaks, remember that tonight is the night of sushi. Meeting at
the Turf at 7pm, heading off to Edamame at about 7:30. Be there or smell of
old man's wee.
