Posting the original working VB is fine, but what does your Perl look like? I'd expect something a little like:

my $objLocator = CreateObject("WbemScripting->SWbemLocator");
my $objWMIService = $objLocator->ConnectServer("es-g01-app01", "root\\
+cimv2", "NDRSMP\\p57571", "Dragon#06");
my $colItems = objWMIService->ExecQuery($wmiQuery);
 
print ("Now establish a scheduled task");
my $objNewJob = objWMIService->Get("Win32_ScheduledJob");
my @objTZone = objWMIService->ExecQuery("Select Bias From Win32_TimeZo
+ne");

$strBias = $_->Bias for @objTZone;

my $SchdTime = TimeConvert(time, $strBias);

$objWMIService = GetObject(
    "winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate, (Security)}!\\es-g01-ap
+p01\root\cimv2"
    );
$objNewJob = objWMIService->Get("Win32_ScheduledJob");
my $errJobCreated = $objNewJob->Create("C:\\Rescue21\\install\\fixsnmp
+->bat", SchdTime, False , undef, undef, undef, JobID);
