Resources for reading MS Visio with Win32::OLE

Does anyone have any good resources for learning about reading and possibly writing to Microsoft Visio using Win32::OLE. I found very little on the web or CPAN. I would like to read the text in shapes of Visio 2003 and possibly copy a shape and add text. I found sample code and am successfully using Win32::OLE with Excel.

Using AS v5.8.8 on Win XP pro, Visio 2003 native format not XML.

Thanks!

A good quick reference is the OLE browser kindly provided by Activestate
(See the documentation for Win32::OLE).

The main resource tends to be the documentation for the application
itself. Check the table of contents for something like "Automation
Reference", and be prepared to translate Visual Basic to Perl, which is
not to hard once you get used to it and you have some examples (albeit
from other applications) to get you started.
