I think ActiveDocument is not a method, but a property. So the right
syntax would be
$doc->{ActiveDocument}->SaveAs(...
Mark, you may need to play with the syntax a bit, Perl is in these
parts more strict than VB(Script) and you do have to distunguish
between methods and properties in Perl even on places where you could
treat them the same in VB(Script).
It may be helpful to use the OLE Viewer installed with ActivePerl and
see what properties and methods do the object have.
