how to assign a vb 6.0 variable value to a perl variable

puchku has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

i've been writing a vb 6.0 program and in it i need to have a text file created during runtime as follows:

dim fs,fname
Set fs = New FileSystemObject
Set fname = fs.CreateTextFile("D:\vb\perlprog.txt", True)
fname.WriteLine ("#!/usr/bin/perl -w")
fname.WriteLine ("use strict;")
.
.
.
fname.WriteLine ("my $t = Net::Telnet->new(Host => $ipad, PORT => '23'
+ , Timeout => 10 , Errmode => 'return');")
.
.
.

in that vb program, i've taken data in a variable like this: IPAD = rec3("IPADDRESS")

i want to take this value(an ip address) from this variable to $ipad variable in the perl program...should i write it in perl or vb??if in perl, then how? thank you....

VB uses "&" as a string-concat operator, so you could write VB code to convert that into a perl variable like this: `fname.WriteLine ("my $ipad_ip ='" & rec3("IPADDRESS") & "';")` [download] "By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest." -Confucius	[reply] [d/l]

( I won't start questioning this strategy!!! :) Technical answer: Include it as a literal string something like '124.55.222.1' (like you did with '23'). Plz don't expect much help about VB's string concatenationš here to interpolate your variable, it's really off topic ( and I won't start googeling for you ;) Cheers Rolf š) `+` ?	[reply] [d/l]

thank you for your response LanX actually the value of ip address changes everytime the entire program is run...but telnet port 23 is constant....so i cant put address in string!! can we pass this value using perl code??	[reply]
