Different problem. :-)

Ditto.  What little I know about COM has been learned by
accident, and I have little interest in learning more.
So take what I say with a grain of salt.

Being interpreted should not be a barrier.  In fact it is
possible to write a COM server in both Perl and Python.
The Perl implementation costs money, but you can buy it
from ActiveState.  The Python implementation is free.  I
would take the lack of a free Perl implementation as a
sign of lack of interest in the Perl world, not a sign of
how difficult it is to do.

If you want to do the same thing in Ruby, I would suggest
starting at:

http://www.python.org/windows/win32com/

and figuring out how the Python folks did it.

Cheers,
Ben
