in reply to convert VBscript to Perl
Only conversion from VBscript to Perl I've done is from a script that used cdonts (or something) to send email. You might take a look at this. It doesn't look like its got an exact match for what you are looking for, but it might point you in the right direction. You might want to look at some of the Win32 modules.
