Windows 2003 AD Perl Scripts

[E1Designs]

I haev this Perl script I found, which I want to use on my AD running Windows 2003. I understand .bat files, .vbs, etc...but where do I paste this text, or how do I go about "running it". I'm sure this sounds odd...but thanks in advance!

You will need to have a perl interpreter installed on the server. The installation should associate .pl files with the interpreter and optionally put perl.exe in the path.

Then you can call the script as a command line
'perl myscript.pl' or optionally provide a fully qualified path to the perl interpreter
c:\pathtoPerl\bin\perl.exe myscript.pl argsToScript ....

Anyway I could give you the script and you could compile it into an .exe? Is that possible...

You could email it over to: e1designs?at?gmail?dot?com

Removing the question marks...

There are some perl to exe converters available on the net. I suggest you google for Perl to EXE to find a solution that will do this for you.

Gave it a go using Perl2Exe...installed the interpreter...etc...ran it, and it failed. I give up, LOL...I will find anotehr method to cleaning up AD.
