<pre>
There are three ways to run an external program from perl.
The function qx() returns the STDOUT as a string.
The function system returns the vb script exit code.
The function exec never returns.
</pre>
<p>In your case use qx() to run your vb script and capture the output in a varible like <c>my $final = qx(vbscript)</c></p>
