OpenOffice::UNO - interface to OpenOffice's UNO runtime

SYNOPSIS

  # Launch OpenOffice.org as a server
  $ ooffice \
      "-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager"

  use OpenOffice::UNO;

  # connect to the OpenOffice.org server
  $uno = OpenOffice::UNO->new;
  $cxt = $uno->createInitialComponentContext;
  $sm  = $cxt->getServiceManager;
  $resolver = $sm->createInstanceWithContext
                  ("com.sun.star.bridge.UnoUrlResolver", $cxt);
  $rsm = $resolver->resolve
      ("uno:socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager");

  # get an instance of the Desktop service
  $rc = $rsm->getPropertyValue("DefaultContext");
  $desktop = $rsm->createInstanceWithContext("com.sun.star.frame.Desktop", $rc);

  # create a name/value pair to be used in opening the document
  $pv = $uno->createIdlStruct("com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue");
  $pv->Name("Hidden");
  $pv->Value(OpenOffice::UNO::Boolean->new(0));

  # open a document
  $sdoc = $desktop->loadComponentFromURL("file:///home/jrandom/test1.sxw",
                                         "_blank", 0, [$pv]);

  # close the document
  $sdoc->dispose();

DESCRIPTION
