Hi, write is not the opposite of read (see documentation). You should use the following code: my $temp = pack ('n', 0x00f0); syswrite (FH, $temp, 2); Please be careful with syswrite. It shouldn't be mixed with other write statements (see documentation). Thomas

1. You can write RTF form you perl script. Word can read RTF-files. Drawback: You must be familiar with RTF. 2. Use Word's macro recorder to get an idea of how to solve the task via OLE automation. The recorded macro shows the used objects with their properties and methods. Then simply...

It should work with [] around table names in Access. The simplest way is building the query in Access until it runs and cut'n paste it into the perl program. Thomas

Have a look at this code sample: use LWP::UserAgent; $url = 'http://bahn.hafas.de/bin/db.w97/query.exe/dn'; @form = ('protocol' => 'http:', # Form content 'from' => 'augsburg hbf', 'to' => 'muenchen hbf', 'via.1' => ''...

With NT you can use NETSTAT.EXE. I don't know whether linux has a netstat command. This is not a perl solution :-)

sort {(-M $a) <=> (-M $b)} @files should work!

Does your program work when you call it from the command line? If not you should correct this. If yes it may be a problem with the scheduler account. Scheduled tasks are started form the TaskScheduler service that runs with the LocalSystem account.

If you need character translation please use the locale pragma: use locale; print uc &quot;Düren&quot;; should print DÜREN in a German environment.

Are you shure that $Mailer = $Server->CreateObject(&quot;SMTPsvg.Mailer&quot;); creates an Object? You should check this. With $Win32::OLE::Warn = 3; every COM error is immediately reported and your script dies. Hope that helps Thomas

I think perl uses your for-head as a list. The list ($i = 0, $i <= $noinsection, $i++) has three elements and is evaluated before entering the loop. $i is set to 0 and incremented at last resulting to 1. The loop iterates 3 times because the list has 3 elements. The current value of $i (1) is...

sprintf is a C library function. The format string is identical to the printf format string. Have a look to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/devprods/vs6/visualc/vccore/_crt_printf_type_field_characters.htm

Try this: print `dir /S/B/AD`;

You can buy a perl compiler (from Active State) and create a COM-Server from your perl program. But I think a better solution is the Windows Scripting Host (WSH). Active State's Perl distribution comes along with a Perl Scripting Engine. Perl scripts can run under control of WSH. MS offers a...
