There are two problems:
1) When you pass a string to use or require, Perl expects a file path,
not the :: format.
2) The arguments after the module name are not processed by require when
you pass a string.
The simplest fix is
eval "require $win32ole";
If this code will be executed many times in a single run of the program,
a better way would be
$win32ole = 'Win32/OLE.pm'; # extension is required too!
require $win32ole;
Win32::OLE->import('in', 'with');
All this obviously applies to the Win32::OLE::Const as well.

Apparently there is something unstable about Windows's forking mechanism (actually I don't think it truly forks). I never found a solution to that, I just ran large numbers of processes so that the task would finish even with an ultra high mortality rate. I had a similar MySQL project where I had to drastically speed things up over one process. I did it by having multiple independent processes. I had a scheduled task which fired off a shell script which launched 10-15 copies of the script per machine. MySQL was smokin off the rails. If ur crashing problem is fork related that should get around it. -- REMEMBER THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ---=< WTC 911 >=-- "...ne cede males" 0100 ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
DBD-MySQL and fork
Hello there, i'm using DBD-MySQL to make lots of updates of a MySQL-Database. To speed up things I've had the idea to create threads using fork. This REALLY SPED UP things - my application finished 10 times faster due those synchronous updates! But DBD-MySQL doesn't seem to work 100 % correct with fork because Windows reports an error with perl and kills it. This seems to occur at random. Sometimes it happens after 100 updates, sometimes after 1000 or even 1 updates. Is this a bug? Does anyone know if and when to expect a fix for it? Is there a workaround? For any help - thanks in advance! Harry ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
