I've a set of Visual basic scripts which I invoke from MS-DOS prompt as : wscript <path to the VB script> Now my attempt to invoke a wrapper kind of perl script running on windows(I've installed ActivePerl) to invoke these VB scripts sequentially seem to be not working. <trivial code snip from wrap.pl> 
use strict;
use warnings;

system("C:\\Windows\\System32\\Wscript.exe c:\\blahblah.wsf");

[download]
<trivial code snip from wrap.pl>

C:\Perl\bin>perl -c C:\wrap.pl

C:\wrap.pl syntax OK

Though invoking wrap.pl doesn't throw me any error, but the VB script (in this case blahblah.wsf) is somehow not getting invoked. Please let me know how to resolve this.
