Re: Perl GUI Programming
Hi Dirk, I don't know, why Tk looks cumbersome to you - it's well documented, you get a great book about it (Mastering Perl/Tk by Steve Lidie, Nancy Walsh at O'Reilly) there's a living mailing list (Steve, Nick himself and a lot of other great Tk specialists contribute a lot) and it's very easy to use. It's also cross platform, of course. And you can re-use a lot of knowledge should you ever need to develop a GUI for Tcl (which God may save you from ;-) Once you get over the initial hurdles (which you will face with every GUI package), you won't find it cumbersome anymore.

Scriptomatic 2 (Win32::OLE)
For those who haven't seen this yet, it was in today's edition of Microsoft's TechNet newsletter. I didn't find it all that useful, but maybe someone on this list will. Cool Tool: Scriptomatic 2 It's a brand-new version of what is probably the greatest of the Scripting Guys' Greatest Hits. Like the original, Scriptomatic 2.0 will automatically write WMI scripts for you, but it isn't limited to writing VBScript scripts and can write scripts in Perl, Python, or JScript. And it gives you a host of new output formats to use when running scripts, including saving data as plain text, as a stand-alone Web page, or even as XML. Scriptomatic 2.0 handles arrays, converts dates to a more readable format, works with all the WMI classes on your computer, and writes scripts that can be run against multiple machines. Get it here, in all its code-signed, virus-scanned goodness. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=09dfc342-648b-4119- b7eb-783b0f7d1178DisplayLang=en ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs

Since it also supports many languages, I can also imagine it's pretty useful when converting VBScript examples to Perl.

The Perl version doesn't break out
the dates. Open the HTA file in your favorite text editor, and look for the
ComposePerlCode section. In there, find the two places bHasDates occurs, and
make the appropriate replacements (long lines may be broken):
bHasDates =
True strHTML = strHTML
" print " Chr(34) objProperty.Name
": " Chr(34) ", WMIDateStringToDate($objItem-{"
objProperty.Name "}), " Chr(34) "\n" Chr(34) ";"
Chr(10)
and the other:
If bHasDates
Then strHTML = strHTML Chr(10)
"sub WMIDateStringToDate()" Chr(10)
strHTML = strHTML "{" Chr(10)
strHTML = strHTML " my $strDate = shift;" Chr(10)
strHTML = strHTML " if
($strDate =~ /^(\d{4})(\d{2})(\d{2})(?:\s*(\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{2}))?/)"
Chr(10) strHTML = strHTML "
{" Chr(10) strHTML = strHTML
" return sprintf '%s/%s/%s%s', $2, $3, $1, (length($4) ? ""
$4:$5:$6"" : '');" Chr(10) strHTML =
strHTML " }" Chr(10)
strHTML = strHTML " else" Chr(10)
strHTML = strHTML " {"
Chr(10) strHTML = strHTML

strHTML = strHTML " }" Chr(10)
strHTML = strHTML "}"
Chr(10) End If
Have fun with it. You international
types may want to change the order to "$3, $2, $1", of course :)
Oh, and you can make Perl the
default by changing g_strCurrentLanguage to "Perl" (up near the top) and
changing the default checked in the radio list "language" to ComposePerlCode.
Likewise, you can change the default output type with g_strOutputFormat and
radio list "output".

Linux - Perl - Excel
Hi all and sorry for my English :-) I have used SpreadSheet::ParseExcel and SpreadSheet::WriteExcel modules on Linux platform. Using of modules is a simple, but I've big problem with national (czech) charset. (in Windows is default charset CP1250, generally ISO-8859-2) After loading of the xls file with national chars (the chars in xls are right) to the perl, then national chars are wrong. Analogous event occured with writting to Excel. In a perl are national chars right but when I put it into xls file and open by Excel on Windows so chars are wrong. I have also tried get data from xls file and directly put into new xls file but new excel is always wrong. When I have read data with national chars from text file and put it into other text file, chars in new file are right. On my PC is installed Windows2000 with Office2000.

Win32::OLE-GetActiveObject not working!
Here is a snippit based on the example in the ActivePerl User Guide with iTunes
instead of Excel..
# use existing instance if iTunes is already running
eval {$iTunesHandle = Win32::OLE-GetActiveObject('iTunes.Application')};
die iTunes not installed if $@;
unless (defined $iTunesHandle) {
$iTunesHandle = Win32::OLE-new('iTunes.Application', sub {$_[0]-Quit;})
or die Oops, cannot start iTunes;
}
A running instance of iTunes will always be killed, because
Win32::OLE-GetActiveObject never finds an object! I tried a generic CLSID, and
specific PROGID version strings, but nothing makes GetACtiveObject return an
object. I used OLEView to check on the CLSID of iTunes.. you can see it is just
a fairly straightforward interface.
I think this is a problem with RPC, SP2 and new security patches. I had some
other trouble with RPC recently for an install program for a USB DSL modem.. it
died at the end with an RPC call failed message. No one seemed to know what I
was talking about (happened 2 days ago), but I'm certain my computer is ok. I
was going to use Safe Mode boot to play with the permissions, but I can't
afford the time to reinstall windows if something goes wrong.
Any other applications that can't use GetActiveObject through a typelib
interface? Is there a work around for this? Is it just my problem?

I could be wrong, but I don't think iTunes is an OLE Object which could
be causing your troubles.
It's a shame that it doesn't have a direct Perl API.

I could be wrong, but I don't think iTunes is an OLE Object which could be causing your troubles. Isn't OLE Automation just a layer on COM targeted toward scripting and VB in particular? It's a shame that it doesn't have a direct Perl API. Dunno, but I can do virtually everything with it using Win32::OLE, just this function seems to be acting odd. And it seems to be something that is part of a recent pattern that has root in the RPC layer.

RE: Win32::OLE-GetActiveObject not working!
Richard, I've been having similar difficulty using Win32::OLE with Internet Explorer recently. I wrote code that worked a month ago that doesn't work today. Perl simply can't get an OLE connection to Internet Explorer anymore, even though I can still connect to Excel, etc. Something must have changed in Windows, but I haven't been able to find any related information on the net.
