Hi,

I want to write a Perl script that can access the Microsoft Windows IIS metabase and pull out values and then report the values of various named variables from the IIS metabase as name value-pairs in a file.

Basically, I want some sort of Perl module Windows::IIS that allows me to open a handle to the Microsoft Windows IIS metabase, perform queries agains the Microsoft Windows IIS metabase, and pull in the results.

here is a rough mock-up of what the code wouuld look like:

    my $iss_metabase_handle = new Win32::IIS::metabase(specifications);
    foreach ($name) @names {
        $value = $iss_metabase_handle->get($name);
        $result{$name} = $value;
    }

    foreach ($name) @names {
        print FH ( $name, "=", $result{$name};
    }
}

The problem that I am having is that I didn't find Windows::IIS on CPAN http://www.cpan.org. Thus, I don't have that nice Perl handle to the Microsoft Windows IIS metabase like in the above program. That's what my problem is.

Does anyone know of an existing Perl module available through CPAN or somoe other source that allows me to get a handle to the Microsoft Windows IIS metabase for the purpose of dumping data out of the Microsoft Windows IIS metabase?

Any useful input you have would be greatly appretiated.

Sincerely,
