If you want to use Perl, using Win32::OLE and WMI is the way to go. You can use the SetDNSServerSearchOrder() method of the Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration class in order to set up your DNS.
The iisfaq.com link tachyon gave is for changing settings on a windows DNS Server, not for changing DNS settings for a Win98/2000 workstation. You don't need to install anything additional to change workstation settings, just use the class method I mentioned above.
If you want this to run from a login script, and your users have admin rights on their workstations, using netsh commands as given by Rex(Wrecks) is the best way to go.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
