deliberate? Is it

Can Win32::OLE access methods/props marked as hidden in the IDL? There
happens to be one property we have marked as such and I tried the naive
thing:
my $secret = $object-HiddenProperty
...and it was rejected. Is there some way to ask Win32::OLE to ignore
the hidden attribute?

Many thanks to the people at ActiveState for all the work in getting us
a release of 5.10. I've been holding off on upgrading for the package
compatibility problem. Is there now a complete ppm repository available
for 5.10? Are there any packages that were available in 5.8 that are no
