Re: Perl and the Windows Scripting host

in reply to Perl and the Windows Scripting host

I've never been there myself, but do you use ActiveState's PerlScript as opposed to regular Perl? I think only the former can be used w/ the WSH.

And if you can be so kind to explain why you'd prefer using the WSH instead of a normal shell, I'd be interested (I hardly now what WSH is). <troll>However, I won't ask why you prefer to run W2k instead of a real OS, I know some people are forced to by their management ;-)</troll>

Yes, it is PerlScript. The reason that I have found for going to the windows scripting host is that it is more logistically flexible than a simple DOS batch file beacuse it uses scripting languages like PerlScript and VBScript. This should allow for combining of scripts, etc. The reason that I was given was: Corporate directive. OzzyOsbourne sees only one troll comment. Maybe the body is not near the water at all... -OzzyOsbourne	[reply]
