RE: Converting ASP/VBScript COM reference to Apache::ASP Perl COM ref erence

[Reggie Dindiyal <Rd...@msdinc.com>]

Ok, I followed the suggestions posted and changed the script to this:

  -: use strict;;;use vars qw($Application $Session $Response $Server
$Request);;
  -: #line 1 d:/websites/default.asp
  1: ;;
  2: use Win32::OLE;
  3: use strict;
  4: 
  5: my $proc = Win32::OLE->new('Project.clsInitialClass');
  6: $proc->{Application} = $Application;
  7: $proc->{Request} = $Request;
  8: $proc->{Response} = $Response;
  9: $proc->{Server} = $Server;
 10: $proc->{Session} = $Session;
 11: $proc->{LoadPage}("D:\RootConfig\config.inc");

Ok, my syntax errors have been fixed for the most part.  Now the error seems
to be occuring at the last line, line 11. Here's the error:

Errors Output 
Can't use string ("") as a subroutine ref while "strict refs" in use at
d:/websites/default.asp line 11. , D:/Perl/site/lib/Apache/ASP.pm line 1514 


Loadpage is a function in my class 'clsInitialClass'.  I'm trying to pass
the string "D:\RootConfig\config.inc" to it.  How should I accomplish this?

By the way, please pardon my ignorance in Perl.  I'm starting to learn the
syntax of it.  Thanks to Thanos, Csongor, and Helmut for your help in my
silly syntax errors. :)

I think Apache::ASP has added those. It is the debugging output Reggie 
sent us here.

Speaking of syntax, even if there is a LoadPage method in the object, it 
won't work like this. It must be either
$proc->LoadPage("D:\\RootConfig\\config.inc");  #note the double ``\\''
or
$proc->LoadPage("D:/RootConfig/config.inc");  #use ``/'' instead of ``\''
because ``\'' is the escape char. Which one you choose is a matter of 
personal preference.

I recommend browsing through the perlFAQs just to get the hang of it 
(``perldoc perlfaq1'' to perlfaq9).

Reggie,

Without knowing perl syntax and basically perl, IMHO you will have a 
hard time.

This line is not good. This should be:
$proc->LoadPage("D:\RootConfig\config.inc");
...provided that $proc has a LoadPage method.

However, this is only syntax, and not semantics. You will have more 
problems with the later than the former I'm afraid.
