To: cygwin AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com From: John DOT Velman AT HSC DOT com Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2000 15:51:21 -0700 Message-ID: X-MIMETrack: Serialize by Router on MTA00/HUGHES(Release 5.0.2c |February 2, 2000) at 07/25/2000 03:51:21 PM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Last spring I desparately needed to use Perl's regular expression capabilities in a VBA program that was doing transformations on a huge Excel file. I found that the Active State perl has a perl dll (and directions for using it), so I installed the Active State perl. I've had a chance in the last few days, finally, to install cygwin 1.1 properly (apparently -- enscript compiled out of the box), and have also installed Charles Wilson's perl_5.6.0. I'd just as soon de-install the Active State perl. Question: how hard would it be to get at the perl functions from VBA using libperl5_6_0.dll? I apologize if this is documented, but I can't seem to find it. Thanks, John Velman john DOT velman AT hsc DOT com -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
