libwin32 (0.27) *

I just want to meet with the author of the Win32::OLE::Variant an say to him "Say hellow to my little friend !!!" - that's how I feel about Variant ...

Unfortunatly if I have to use Win32::OLE, I have to use that crap Variant...

I can't get foreach ... { ... $WMI->GetStringValue($HKLM,$BaseKey.$a, "DisplayName", $sValue); } and if I get mistake the rest of the $sValue will CRASH ...

There is NO WAY I can get $WMI->GetBinaryValue($HKLM,"$BaseKey$enum",$a,$sys_set); ... Variant just desn't work with binnary value ... not any of the examples in the documentation - tried at least 500 different combinations and there is now way it gonna work ... I just feel like I want to grab my PC and mash it on the wall ...

WHY WHY WHY you had to crap the Win32::OLE with that ObjectOriented crap ... Unlike any other language Perl can stuff it's varibles with whatever you whant ... WHY you had to turn it in C++ ... and be like Nooooooo you got to declare what kind of data you gonna use first this half-way working Variant ... WHY WHY WHY


In another words I LOVE Win32::OLE and I hate Win32::OLE::Variant ...
