Go grok the ActiveState Perl-Win32-Admin list archives ... there's a fine sample about every week, using OLE usually ... or ADSI ... I get them confused now that I am AD-free ...

If memory serves, Dave Roth has some samples on his site and in his books. Also check out Win32::Lanman ... I think it has some AD capabilities as well ...
