Note: This example is HEAVILY based on the AgentChat script available somewhere in this monastery.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Variant;

$sound="Yup";

use vars qw($Agent);
use vars qw(%Languages $VERSION);

%Languages = (
    English => 0x0409,
    French => 0x040C, 
    German => 0x0407, 
    Italian => 0x0410, 
    Portuguese => 0x0816, 
    Spanish => 0x0C0A,
    Dutch => 0x0413,
);

Win32::OLE->Initialize(Win32::OLE::COINIT_MULTITHREADED);

$Agent = Win32::OLE->new('Agent.Control.2') or die Win32::OLE->LastErr
+or();
$Agent->{Connected} = Variant(VT_BOOL, 1);

$Agent->Characters->Load('Merlin','merlin.acs')    or die Win32::OLE->
+LastError();

$Characters{agent} = $Agent->Characters('Merlin');

$Characters{agent}->{LanguageID}=$Languages{English};

$Characters{agent}->Show;
$Characters{agent}->Play("Greet");
$Characters{agent}->Speak("Hallo");
$Characters{agent}->Speak("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
+.");
$Characters{agent}->Speak("She sells sea shells on the sea shore.");
$Characters{agent}->Speak("There's more than one way to do it.");

$Characters{agent}->Hide;

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
