I do a fair amount of this sort of thing, and I just use the stuff out on MSDN. It is in VBScript, of course, but once you learn the general steps of calling objects from perl, the translation from vbs to perl just sort of becomes transparent. The newer stuff like WMI is pretty simple to work with from perl. The older stuff(like MAPI)can get hairy. In those cases, I just google.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kern, Tom Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2004 3:46 PM To: ActiveDir (E-mail) Subject: [ActiveDir] OT again Anyone know of a really good book on using perl for Win32 admining. Stuff that covers adsi,wmi,wsh,etc? Stuff thats up to date. I've used Dave Roth's Win32 Perl scripting:the administrators handbook, but found it alittle out of date and lacking in alot of repects. I've also downloaded robbie allen's perl code for the ad cookbook, which i thought was great. I'm looking for something specifically for AD/Exchange 2k that assumes you know those topics and have a grasp of perl on *nix systems and want to combine your knowldge of both(Perl and Windows). I guess i'm looking for a perl verison of MS windows scripting guide. I assume you can do in perl on win32 anything you could do in VBscript?
