title: How do I call a Perl script from Excel?
body: <p>I want to call a Perl script from Excel using VBA. I have used a shell command. I have also used the code below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Function Chk()
  Dim RetVal
  RetVal = Shell("C:\Perl\bin\Hello.pl", 1)
  End Function
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But the above function doesnt run the file. Is there any error?</p>
  
  <p>Is there any other way to call a Perl script or external program using Excel?</p>
