I've slammed into a rather odd thing with a script I wrote. I've a script
generating PowerPoint slides from sar data generated on our Unix system we
run daily. Recently the script failed to execute on any system with any
component of Office 2003 installed: usually Visio but I confirmed the same
problem on a default O2k3 installation. My problem is basic Office
enumerations like msoFalse were undefined. I finally managed to sort out
needing to define
use Win32::Const "Microsoft Office 11.0 Object Library";
instead of the standard
use Win32::Const "Microsoft Office";
Further making things suck, loading 'Microsoft Office' with 2k3 components
still loads SOMETHING.. though it's not the complete/desired objects. So
I've been stuck with trying something like (pseudocode):
load 'microsoft office'
if ( ! defined(msoFalse) ) { use 'microsoft office 11.0 object library'};
.. which still throws warnings to the console. Is there a more elegant way
to do this? Is there a way to show a list of available MS object libs like
the OLE Type Library Browser does?
