First, thanks for nudging me to check the error OLE codes/messages that will be useful even if it doesn't solve my current problem. (I also discovered that enabling the Option: Warn => 2 calls Carp::carp for each error: 

  Win32::OLE->Option(Warn => 2);

Second, no error (0 return) is returned for the Assignment, the LetProperty, or (I added a) SetProperty.

The Put, SetInfo, and Quit (which I also added) all return: 

Win32::OLE(0.1709) error 0x80020003: "Member not found"
    in METHOD/PROPERTYGET "" at D:\dev\ch\srp2.pl line 27

So it seems the setting of the property is accepted, but it never gets updated at the actual data store. ADSI usually requires the "SetInfo" in VBS which is the reason I (semi-randomly) tried adding that. Put is mentioned in the Win32::OLE docs, and Quit was alluded to as if it might finish a 'transaction'.

I have of course tried each separately.
