i have

my $test = Win32::OLE->GetObject($microsoftword_filename);
my $para = $test->Paragraphs();

this works fine when i run thru command prompt but not thru CGI.

Do i neec to change IIS configuration setting?

I tried

1)
print "<html> <script> alert(\"test\") </script> </html>
";
exit 0;
my $document = Win32::OLE->GetObject($wordfile);

teh CGI terminates properly once i click "ok"

2)
print "<html> <script> alert(\"test\") </script> </html>
";
my $document = Win32::OLE->GetObject($wordfile);
exit 0;

the cgi hangs and terminates after 5 minutes saying timeout....

however when i run the same CGU using command prompt, it works fine

the complete errior i get is

HTTP/1.1 502 Gateway Error Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0 Date: Mon, 27 Mar
2006 20:18:08 GMT Connection: close Content-Length: 186 Content-Type:

CGI Timeout
The specified CGI application exceeded the allowed time for processing.
The server has deleted the process.

Sounds like the usual permissions problem. Is the file you are trying to
GetObject in a directory your webserver is authorized to use and does the
webserver have permissions to open the file?

For those who are going to say he has an exit 0; before his ole statement,
you are right. but I trust he added that later because the cgi code would
end before any time exceeded message would occur and the html is valid and
won't hang the browser.

I don't understand where this OK box he clicks comes from, maybe some other
code. I often see posts with less code than we would want to see. Perhaps
post a link to where we can see the code or include all the parts we need to
see. keep it short but complete enough.
