convert Vbscript to Perl code

[Boris Skoblo]

Hi All,

please help me convert following VBscript code to Perl code
...............................................................................................
strLDAP = "LDAP://CN=test,OU=users,DC=tech,DC=com"
set usr = GetObject(strLDAP)

Wscript.echo usr.TerminalServicesWorkDirectory
Wscript.echo usr.TerminalServicesInitialProgram

usr.TerminalServicesInitialProgram= "cmd.exe"
usr.TerminalServicesWorkDirectory= "D:\path"

usr.SetInfo

WScript.echo usr.TerminalServicesInitialProgram
Wscript.echo usr.TerminalServicesWorkDirectory

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Boris, the people who hang out here do so because they know Perl. The
chances of finding one who knows VB-thing are very small. The chances
of finding one of those who is also prepared to do your work for you
from scratch is even smaller ... approaching zero.

Hint: have a go at getting some of this into Perl. Post with your
difficulties and people will be much more willing to help. Oh, and if
you're posting VB then make sure you tell us what it does.

Posting guidelines appear here very regularly; Google for them if you
need to. They are useful; my advice would be to follow them for your
next post here.

Can anyone help?

Sure! What part are you stuck on?

Can anyone write it for you? No, only some people can write it for you.

Will anyone write it for you? Probably not.

Show us the Perl code you have so far, we cannot "help" with your
Perl code if you do not show us your Perl code.

Why do you ask if 'anyone can', answer 'No', then say 'some people can'
? Self contractiction if I ever saw one, or purposely messing with

He didnt post any code, and you knew that, so why are you kicking this

wouldnt look like a pompus ass school yard bully, mate.

and my bitch is about jerks like you who bitch about how others actually
help people but who don't do any helping themselves. until you have
participated here for some time and with acceptable answers, i would
advise you not to give any advice on how things work here.

Amazing how one sided you are. You bitch about ho I bitched but it's
perfectly ok for Tad and other to do so to others. He did not offer help
here, and in fact, the amount of posts in which he actually helps seems
to be actually dropping, but with pundants like yourself support every
move he makes, no matter how wrong it is, things in this group will
never improve. I have participated in this and many groups in the past,
but I tend to find information on my own.

Wrong again. Pointing out someone is being a bully is not bullying in
itself, but rather pointing someting out. If you'd stop and look at how
he needlessly brates people, instead of giving him complete immunity, we
might get somewhere.

and try to answer questions yourself in the most polite way you can.

The point is, why cant _HE_ do that? Or again, he is just free to
respond however he wishes and its perfect ok for him to do so, right?

No, the problem is people like you who continue to send people like him
the message that its ok to berate and humiliate people rather than to be
polite and informative. Google-Groups has all of his uneeded replies if
you actually bothered to look for your self.

Stop pretending that people like Tad should be completely immune to the
very things you preach, and maybe you wont sound like such a bloody
hypocrit.

but the point is, how does any amount of help given justify dragging
someone through the dirt? Dont even try to tell me that doesn't happen

no, you did it in a bullying way with asinine comments and the typical

Again, hypocritical response. Why is it ok for Tad, among other, to do

So why did Tad need to respond at all? Why are you defending him, while
at the same thing castizing me, when both our posts contributed nothing
useful to the OP? Stop using double standards.

How do you know I've never helped? Why are you using flake arguements to
dance away from the point? Why is it Tad can make all the useless posts
he wants and it's -perfectly-OK- ?

Again you argument purely based on assumptions you make of me. And the
fact of matter google shows everyone one of his useless posts, like his
reply to OP here, and yes, historians will judge him and blind followers
like your self themselves.

Just because someone helps doesn't give them the right to be an ass.
Just because someone doesnt participate, doesn't mean they cant voice a
comment. Only a communistic-type mind-set might feel otherwise.

Hi Boris,

What you're asking is not a trivial thing. As mentioned above, you need
to show what you've tried and what did or did not work. From my
experience doing VBScript to Perl code conversions it looks like what
you posted are some extracted lines from some existing code that is
handling some remove session login. But, those lines don't show how the
original VBScripter handled the issues between the lines you included
and without those we can't put together very usable responses for you.

Translating from one language to another is not a trivial task; To do
it well requires good knowledge of the languages, plus of the hardware
and/or OS and the tasks being accomplished. VBScript is (to my mind) a
lot higher level language than Perl, and VBScript is tightly coupled to
the WIndows OS and Microsoft apps.

To get you started on the right path toward YOU coding a solution,
you'll want to install a copy of ActiveState's PERL, then start reading
through the docs for their flavor of Perl. ActiveState includes a lot
of Windows/DOS only extensions to tie together Perl and the Windows OS
- things you won't find in the standard Perl distribution - so you'll
want to know about those as they'll save you a lot of
wheel-reinvention. Get "Programming Perl" and maybe a book for Perl on
Windows or maybe the Perl for Windows admins book.

Then you'll want to get all the docs for VBScript or at least one
really good VBScript book, and learn it as VBScript is (kind of) an
object-oriented language, where Perl can be procedural or OO (kind of).


Then show some more complete examples of what you've tried and what
didn't work.

Can anyone help?

Sure! What part are you stuck on?

Your assuming he tried already, when it seems clear that he doesnt know
where to start, but I think you knew that but had to be 'witty' any how.

Tad is pointing out that if you want help with Perl, it is a good idea
to make an attempt and post your code. The Posting Guidelines which are
posted to this newsgroup twice a week also make this point.

^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Why do you ask if 'anyone can', answer 'No',

Tad's sentence means "When you wrote 'can anyone help?', did you mean
'can anyone write it for me?' if so, the answer is no."

then say 'some people can'? Self contractiction if I ever saw one,

Not really, "anyone" can mean *all* people. Consider the phrase "can
anyone convert VB to Perl or are some special skills or knowledge
required?" Clearly only someone with some knowledge of both VB and Perl
can translate the OP's VB to Perl. There are *some* people who can do
this but not *anyone* can do it.

I think Tad is being a bit picky, but I suspect anyone spending years
answering such questions (as Tad has) is likely to become a bit
irritated by what appears to be laziness.

He didnt post any code, and you knew that,

Tad asked him to post what he hadn't posted so far. Only the OP knows
whether he has already made an attempt at writing a Perl equivalent of
the VB.

so why are you kicking this guy around in the dirt?

Tad's request is a reasonable one. I don't feel it equates to being
kicked in the dirt. After all this is primarily a newsgroup for helping
Perl programmers (including learners), not a newsgroup for getting
complete programs written by other people.

Indeed; I have a stuffed toy tiger that I explain Objective-C
programming problems to, and the act of explaining them solves them
most of the time. I don't see why the same tactic wouldn't work in
Perl, except that I rarely have Perl problems that require deep
thought. Domain problems that need to be expressed in Perl, yes....

I expect the tiger will go on strike when 10.5 is released.

oooh, i am so scared. please google for the alaskan electrician. you
have no wattage compared to him. i only need tissue paper thin
insulation to protect myself from your electromagnetic onslaught.

now, when you have you helped with a perl question? show some google
hits please.

next contestant!! i will take on all /f?lamers/ in a no holds barred
perl rasslin' match. watch as i clobber the losers to such a pulp that i
can use file::slurp to drink their guts up a thin straw. watch them spin
around as file::readbackwards upsets their sense of orientation. see
them boggle as they try to master the simplicity and power of
template::simple. MUAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

and i also wish you a happy perl day!
