Siebel::COM - Perl extension to access Siebel application through Microsoft COM
package Siebel::COM::App; use Moose; use namespace::autoclean; with 'Siebel::COM'; sub BUILD { my $self = shift; my $app = Win32::OLE->new( $self->get_ole_class() ) or confess( 'failed to load ' . $self->get_ole_class() . ': ' . $! ); $self->_set_ole($app); }
Siebel::COM was developed to make it easier to use Microsoft COM to access a Siebel application, either a Siebel Enterprise or a Siebel Client, without having to go down the details of Win32::OLE.
Inspiration for this distribution came from the article (http://jbrazile.blogspot.com.br/2008/03/siebel-com-programming-with-perl.html) wrote by Jason Brazile and the despicable information in the documentation (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14004_01/books/OIRef/OIRef_About_Object_Interfaces_and_Programming_Environment6.html#wp1026164) of Oracle saying that Perl cannot be used to connected to Siebel with COM.
Siebel::COM should be used directly only for maintenance or extensions since it is a Moose role. You probably want to look for subclasses of Siebel::COM::App to start connecting to a Siebel environment.
This roles provides the _ole attribute, with the accessors get_ole and the "private" _set_ole, which holds a reference to the Win32::OLE object that is used to really provide functionality from Siebel DLL's.
_ole
get_ole
_set_ole
None by default.
Expects no parameter. Returns the Win32::OLE associated with the class.
A known issue is that this distribution only works with Microsoft Windows OS (which should be garanteed by Devel::AssertOS).
Having a full Siebel Client setup in the OS is also required. It is also known that Siebel COM is not supported in 64 bits systems due incompability of the required Siebel DLLs.
