Hi Brett:
I'm using Perl to set a password and a coworker of mine is using VB to call my
program. The problem is that the person who will end op running the VB program
does not have access to the directory where passwords are stored. So, I
figured, I'll use Perl to do the job, since I can easily impersonate a user with
the AdminMisc module.
What we want is for the VB program to set a variable based on the results of
the Perl program. Something like this (using Perl syntax):
$VBtextstring = "RunPerlToGetNewPassword.exe";
Any ideas?

P.S. Is that a REAL state law in Idaho?

Return a text-string in what manner? If the calling program is picking
something out of STDIN, then you will want to use die:
die "Error doing something" if $some_error_condition;
