If you are getting an error message along the lines of ‘Class Not Registered’ when using Win32::OLE to create a COM object when using 64Bit ActiveState Perl and you are sure that the class is registered then it may be because the COM dll is 32bit and the 64bit perl process can’t load it….
I have found that the easiest (laziest?) way to work around this is to un-install the 64bit perl and install the 32bit version instead – not a perfect workaround but it works for me!
