I've been playing in a very small way with SOAP and I'm sure I read something in passing saying that all (most? some?) DCOM calls could be readily SOAPified, so in theory this would be possible. MS is pretty SOAP friendly anyway, so it may be your best bet for interoperability. However, since Perl is a cross platform language, it should be simple to move it from Linux to Win32, giving you all the benefits of COM integration ;-) -- Jonathan Peterson Technical Manager, Unified Ltd, +44 (0)20 7383 6092 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
