GetObject
Win32::OLE->GetObject(filename)
Creates an automation object based on a document.
filename is the full pathname of the
document, which can be optionally followed by additional item
subcomponents separated by exclamation marks (!). For example:
$doc = 'c:\test\test.xls'; $x1 = Win32::OLE->GetObject($doc);
This code creates an Excel instance based on an Excel file.
It is not always clear what type of object GetObject will return from a document
since applications may register for more than one document type
(e.g., worksheets, charts, macro files, etc. for Excel). You can
use QueryObjectType on an
object to get the class name of the object.
