below is a crosspost from Scripts. I'm having some real problems with variables under perl, and was wondering if anyone knows what is going on, or may be able to help me find a workaround. I have switched to Python for scriping, but I'm still a little annoyed that what I though should be working, doesn't.

with my limited knowledge of OLE/COM objects I thought activePERL would magicaly poof it and make everything allright. It seems not. Even my targetting system, which was working properly before has gone dodgy now. I have it now as
<aliases>
<alias
script="setTarget"
match="^target (\w+)"
enabled="y"
ignore_case="y"
regexp="y"
name="targetting"
></alias>
</aliases>
<script>
<![CDATA[
sub setTarget{
my ($theName, $theOutput, $wildcards) = @_;
my $target = GetAliasWildcard($theName, "1");
$world->note("setting target to ".$target);
$world->setVariable("target",$target);
my $fetchedTarget = $world.getVariable("target");
$world->note("target is now ".$fetchedTarget);
}
]]>
as it is now, imputting
target bigbadwolf
should output
setting target to bigbadwolf
target is now bigbadwolf
right?
wrong. It gives
setting target to bigbadwolf
target is now Win32::OLE=HASH(0xfaa1b4)bigbadwolf
I'm confused now...
