Perlscript asp object syntax problem

[Les]

I am using a

$obj = $Server->CreateObject("customdll.object") command successfully.

I get the correct output from a call such as

$obj->{something};

but I can't get the correct syntax for a method which in vbscript
works fine as

objAuth.OutputField("message")

When I use my best guess

$strMessage = "$obj->{OutputField}->{'message'}";

$Response->Write("message is: $strMessage ." );

there is no error but the output is just "message is:."

though I am sure there would be a message.

At the head of the page I have

use Data:umper;
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Variant; #this gets the dates out of the database
right.
use Time::Local;

and tried

for my $item ($obj){
$Response->Write("Got first, " . Dumper($item) . "<br>");
}

but the output of that is

Got first, $VAR1 = bless( {}, 'Win32::OLE' );

It would be much appreciated if I could be told the correct syntax.

I have no access to a Windows/IIS/ASP/Perl system for testing, but my
guess is that you have to do this:

$strMessage = $obj->OutputField("message");

Dear Mumia,

You are so right. I thought I had tried that, but it seems not, and it
works nicely. Thank you so much.
