Win32::OLE can"t create object

The documentation for this module says,
"The new() class method starts a new instance of an OLE Automation
object. It returns a reference to this object or undef if the creation
failed."
=20
undef is not particularly useful. Is there any way to get further
information on why the object could not be created? I am trying to
track down a problem here and am getting stuck at this point.

Thanks.

Win32::OLE->LastError()



You can also call Win32::OLE->Option(Warn => 2) at the beginning of your script to display all OLE errors as they are encountered.



Cheers,

Thanks, Jan -- that showed me that the error is=20

Win32::OLE(0.1709) error 0x80070005: "Access is denied"
Now I just have to figure out what permission is needed.
