I have created a control using PerlCtrl and safely registered it. It has two properties, which I want to be able to access from a VBA module. It also has a method, which I am able to call and return from. Here is a snippet of VBA code I am using:

Set re = CreateObject("PerlRegex.Match")

count = re.Match("abcdxxabcd", "a..d", "gim")

If count <> 0 Then
Set coll = re.matchedStrings
For Each str In re.matchedStrings
MsgBox str
Next str
End If

It bombs on the "for each ..." command, griping that the object doesn't support that property. Here is a part of the PerlCtrl file used to create the control:

=begin PerlCtrl

[snip]

Methods => {
'Match' => {
RetType => VT_I4,
TotalParams => 3,
NumOptionalParams => 0,
ParamList => [
'string' => VT_BSTR,
'pattern' => VT_BSTR,
'options' => VT_BSTR
]
},
}, # end of 'Methods'
Properties => {
'positions' => {
Type => VT_ARRAY|VT_VARIANT,
ReadOnly => 0,
},
'lengths' => {
Type => VT_ARRAY|VT_VARIANT,
ReadOnly => 0,
},
'matchedStrings' => {
Type => VT_ARRAY|VT_VARIANT,
ReadOnly => 0,
}
}, # end of 'Properties'

[snip]

=end PerlCtrl

What is the correct way to access the properties from within the VBA code? What are the various allowable settings of the "ReadOnly" attribute, and where are those documented?

Thanks for your help!
