Hi all,

I've created this VBscript, and it works as expected.
But now I need it to be in perl and I am having trouble
with some of the Win32::OLE calls, so any help would be
appreciated.
In the code below, I need to connect to a server with my admin rights, then create a scheduled task. Which this vb script does.
In my perl attempts it breaks at the
objNewJob.Create("C:\Rescue21\install\fixsnmp.bat", _ SchdTime, False , , , , JobID) 

Set objLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator") 
Set objWMIService = objLocator.ConnectServer("es-g01-app01", "root\cim
+v2", "NDRSMP\p57571", "Dragon#06") 
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery(wmiQuery) 
 
wscript.echo "Now establish a scheduled task"
Set objNewJob = objWMIService.Get("Win32_ScheduledJob")
set objTZone = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select Bias From Win32_TimeZon
+e")

for each objItem in objTZone
    strBias = objItem.Bias
Next

SchdTime = TimeConvert(time, strBias)

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
                              & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate, (Sec
+urity)}!\\" _
                              & "es-g01-app01" & "\root\cimv2")
Set objNewJob = objWMIService.Get("Win32_ScheduledJob")      
errJobCreated = objNewJob.Create("C:\Rescue21\install\fixsnmp.bat", _
                                  SchdTime, False , , , , JobID)
