event handling and then iterate through a collection of IE browser objects:
my $objectCollection = $document->All();
foreach my $object( in $objectCollection ) {
# Blah, blah
}I get the "Bizarre copy of HASH in push" exception.
However, if I iterate differently,
my $objectCollection = $document->All();
my $numberOfObjects = $objectCollection->{length}; foreach my $i( 0 .. ($numberOfObjects-1) ) {
# Blah, blah
}I do not get an exception.
How do I alert the powers that be about this potential defect?

I use events with IE automation.
use Win32::OLE qw(EVENTS)
Then check the Win32::OLE docs or the archive lists to see how to use them.

Hi Andrew,
I really don't know what's going on, but I have tried running MSAccess as an OLE automation server; you too are obviously running IE as an OLE automation server.
I hate it when people tell me something can't be done, but I really doubt that you can call events from a COM object via a perl script... It MAY be possible from a VB program, because (I believe this is how it works) both are bound at runtime via the VB6RT.DLL... but I may be wrong... if you findan answer to this, PLEASE POST!!!!
I worked on a similar project a few weeks ago- I had to implement a report server in Perl to run MS Access reports and deliver the snapshot (*.snp) to the browser- I discovered that I could not run an OLE method - $access->DoCmd->RunReport() got an error; "You cannot run this method at this time"
"this time" was a code-phrase for "you cannot run this method at ANY time [:-)]
I was able to solve my problem by writing a VB program that "bridged" my OLE automation request from the Perl script, and notified the script via some pretty clunky means that I'm too embarassed to get into here.
