Can I create virtual directory by script remotely?

Hi Jonathan Maltz,

Thanks for your reply! It works.

Do you know how to use perl script to call this vb script or does any perl
module can do the same job?

I know that may not be the scope of this forum but I really want to use perl
script instead.
;-(

Thanks again.

Hello,

I'm not in any way a Perl expert(!), but can't you use system()?

For example something like:

system("iisvdir.vbs ...")
system("wscript iisvdir.vbs ...")

I seem to remember that you could use system() to call these kind of
things, but i'm not sure. Just a thought that might get you into the
right direction.

You probably have a reference manual for PERL where you can look
system() up, i don't seem to have one right now.
