null pointer & OLE

I am trying to interface to an application via OLE, but I've run into a bit of a problem: One of the OLE calls requires a null pointer to work correctly in some cases. How can I do this? my $result=$control->Play(phEventClose, , phDialogSilent); ==Doug Claar __

I don't know of any perl coding relating for this or if a patch for OE is available yet.  I do know that you must have anti-virus software though or it will make it through.  I learned that when Nimda hit our classroom subnet.  Everyone had the system patched with all the patch
