ActiveState provides commercial tools to do this, PerlCOM and PerlCtrl. And here are some Perl links: http://ftp.activestate.com/unsupported/PDK/release.htm http://www.mkssoftware.com/docs/man5/perlcom.5.asp http://burningbird.net/devaspcomp/bonus/perl.htm http://www.foo.be/docs/tpj/issues/vol3_3/tpj0303-0008.html http://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/ArticleID/3928/3928.html
I haven't used these. But I have used corresponding (free) tools in Python ... for some reason this is one of the few areas (IMHO) where Python's tools are more advanced than Perl's. Here's a link to a great book which includes a lot of info on this subject. It's even worth reading if you plan to do this in Perl. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/pythonwin32/ HTH, Jonathan At 11:31 AM 1/8/2007, Steve Loughran wrote: >Slightly off-topic, but is it possible to write standalone (dll or ocx) >ActiveX modules in win32 perl?
