It probably have died before getting to print "before...". Have you
seen
any error message in your log files?

Web Server runs under its own user account such as "nobody" with
a lot restrictions. You likely have permission issue on $wordfile.

 

[perlperl]

what could be the permission issue on wordfile

 

[perlperl]

also I am using Apache web server

 

[perlperl]

i saw the log files....it is not able to create object ...just prints
"canno " in log file

Win32::OLE -> GetObject($wordfile)
|| die "Failed".Win32::OLE::LastError . "\n"
will give you more info on why it died.

Normally your web server can only read files from certain directory.
If your $wordfile is outside of those directories, then it fails.
or say if $wordfile is readable only to admin/root, then it will fail.
Things like that.

 

[perlperl]

well, the cgi was not able to understand white spaces in path...

now
my $excel = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application')
||
Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit');


print "Reaching here.......\n";

my $Book = $excel->Workbooks->Open("C:\\test.xls") || die "error..";

print "Reaching here. **************** \n";


it is not printing "Reaching here. **************** " and
terminating before that.....
