Perl Version: Activestate 5.6.1, Environment: Windows 2003 running NTEmulation

Problem:

I'm trying to convert some VBScript code to Perl. Specifically, I'm trying to change the home directory path for some users.

Vbscript Code:

Set User = GetObject("WinNT://Domain/" & username & ",user")
    User.HomeDirectory = "\\server\homeshare"
    User.SetInfo

[download]

Perl Code:

$User=Win32::OLE-> GetObject("WinNT://wsi/$username", "user");
#Reports error - not allowed $User->HomeDirectory="\\server\homeshare"
+;
#Doesn't Work $update=$User->HomeDirectory("\\server\homeshare");
$set=$update->SetInfo;

[download]

How should the vbscript function, User.HomeDirectory = "\\server\homeshare" be written in Perl?

Any help would be much appreciated.
