You were so close. When writing to a property of an object with perl, you have to enclose the property name with {}.
# $ins_range->Font->Name = "Arial" gives illegal lvalue # turns into $ins_range->Font->{Name} = "Arial";
Since you're using OLE, you'll be working with objects a lot. Always remember that properties are enclosed in curly braces.

As for your other problem, without knowing what you are trying to saveas, I really can't help you out.

P.S. msdn.microsoft.com is the best place to find information on the OLE interface. If you want the examples in perl, just change all the '.'s to '->', put '{}' around the properties, change 'Dim' to 'my', and add a '$' in front of the variables ;^)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
