Hi, I'm wondering if there's an easy way to create dial-up networking connection settings on Windows 95B through XP using Perl.

I'd like to write a program that will automate the creation of DUN entries on win32 systems, and not actually do any dialing of its own (eventually reading the users' individual config from a text file). The point of this exercise is that the DUN settings are slightly different to set up on the different versions of Windows, so if it can be standardized with one interface, it can potentially make supporting dial-up users that much easier. That, and no budget for any commercial apps to do this :(

I found some references to Win32::RASE, however the last reference dates back to 2000 and only mentions up to NT 4. Also, the web site mentioned as its home page seems to be inaccessible.

All suggestions appreciated.
