Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Can't create python script?

Thank you Andreas!

I just need to do one little thing. As an alternative to figuring out
all about python, is there any way to call a perl script (already
written) from within LibreOffice? The script wouldn't need to do
anything with Office, just return a string or array.

Thanks!
