Thanks everyone ..
I used $Excel->{WindowState} = xlMinimized; and it works .. so I need not worry
about changes for these constants (if any)
Thanks and Regards

They are declared by the module that you have already included, i.e.
Win32::OLE::Const. See the documentation for that module (you should
probably have done that before using it in your code). However, as I am
feeling generous, try either:
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel';
print "xlMaximized: ", xlMaximized, "\n";
print "xlMinimized: ", xlMinimized, "\n";
print "xlNormal: ", xlNormal, "\n";
... or if you don't want to polute your main namespace so much try this:
use Win32::OLE::Const;
my $consts = Win32::OLE::Const->Load('Microsoft Excel');
print "xlMaximized: $consts->{xlMaximized}\n";
print "xlMinimized: $consts->{xlMinimized}\n";
print "xlNormal: $consts->{xlNormal}\n";
To find the constant names, or anything to do with using OLE on such
applications, it is useful to read the relevant parts of the Visual
Basic Reference for that application, under the help menu. Another
damned useful tool is the OLE browser kindly provided with the
Activestate documentation. I found the constant names mentioned above in
both.
