Using Windows Script Files (.wsf) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/15x4407c%28VS.85%29.aspx WSF might be helpful to you. It allows you to have several engines work jointly. You might be able to keep the parts in VBS that are not practical to port to Perl. It is XML, so you can use Unicode in your script. -- Michael Ludwig _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list ActivePerl@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
