Hi,
I have a real big perl program 
- it runs already for a couple of years and I am always adding some 
features.
So since a few days it needs over 2 Minutes to start!!!
I did a profiling and the problem seems to be the 
Win32::OLE::Const:::_Typelib

So here is the actual output of the profiler:
#################################
%Time    Sec.     #calls   sec/call  F  name
68.28  137.9805      777   0.177581     Win32::OLE::Const::_Typelib

-->  so perl needs 137 seconds for 777 calls!!!
-->  the first line (Win32::OLE operating in debugging mode: _Unique => 1) 
when starting the programm 
      comes at once and after that I have to wait for a while
=>  seems that the first call to Win32::OLE::Const::_Typelib need so long 
???. Is perl searching the lib?


And this is the output of the same program months ago:
#################################
%Time    Sec.     #calls   sec/call  F  name
 1.12    0.0794      686   0.000116     Win32::OLE::Const::_Typelib


I'll be thankfull for any idea!

Cheers 
Armin
