Using the HCL Compass API

The HCL Compass API is implemented as a COM library (cqole.dll) for VBScript and Visual Basic, and as a Perl package (CQPerlExt). You can write hook scripts in VBScript or Perl. The API documentation presents both of these collections of interfaces.

  • The COM library is presented as properties and methods
  • The Perl package is presented as methods. Get and Set methods that perform the same functions as a VB property, are listed with that property. Tables are provided in the methods section to help identify these Perl methods.
