in reply to convert VBscript to Perl

I downloaded this code last year - can't remember where I got it, and I haven't used it but this may accomplish what you want: 
use strict;
use Net::LDAP;

#-----------------------------------------------#
# Customize for your own environment,
# connect and authenticate
#-----------------------------------------------#
my $dc     = 'dc1';
my $user   = 'administrator@mycorp.com';
my $passwd = 'Adminpasswd';
my $dn     = "cn=jdoe,cn=users,dc=mycorp,dc=com";

my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new($dc) or die "$@\n";
my $rc = $ldap->bind( $user, password => $passwd);
die $rc->error if $rc->code;

#----------------------------------------------#
# Modify several attributes
#---------------------------------------------#
print "Setting givenname, sn and mail...\n";
$rc = $ldap->modify($dn, 
                    changes => [
                      add => [ givenname => "Johnny" ],
                      add => [ sn => "Doh"],
                      add => [ mail => 'jdoe@mycorp.com'],
                    ]);
die $rc->error if $rc->code;

print "Changing givenname to John...\n";
$rc = $ldap->modify($dn, 
                    replace => { givenname => "John" });
die $rc->error if $rc->code;

print "Deleting the mail attribute...\n";
$rc = $ldap->modify($dn,
                    delete => [ 'mail' ]);
die $rc->error if $rc->code;

print "Setting the telephoneNumber and sn...\n";
$rc = $ldap->modify($dn, 
                    changes => [
                          add     => [ telephoneNumber => '555-123-456
+7'],
                          replace => [ sn => 'Doe'],
                    ]);
die $rc->error if $rc->code;

print "\nModifications successful\n";

$ldap->unbind;

    ++ for the help!

    I figured out how to do this via Perl, below is the code
    #!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Win32::OLE;
$Win32::OLE::Warn = 3;

# Taken from $ADS_USER_FLAG_ENUM
my $ADS_UF_NORMAL_ACCOUNT = 512;
my $ADS_PROPERTY_APPEND = 3;

my $NetId = "zeta28";
my $Name = "Zeta Jones";
my $FName = "Zeta";
my $LName = "Jones";
my $UserDir = "user12";
my $Pass = "S0mePass!";

my $objParent = Win32::OLE->GetObject("LDAP://OU=Domain Users, DC=HEAD
+QUARTERS,DC=YOURCOMPANY,DC=com");
my $objUser   = $objParent->Create("user", "cn=$Name");
$objUser->Put("sAMAccountName", "$NetId");   
$objUser->SetInfo;
$objUser->{AccountDisabled} = 0;
$objUser->SetInfo;
$objUser->SetPassword("$Pass");
$objUser->Put("mail", "$NetId".'@YOURCOMPANY'); 
$objUser->Put("givenName", "$FName"); 
$objUser->Put("sn", "$LName");        
$objUser->Put("displayName", "$Name");
$objUser->Put("userPrincipalName", "$NetId".'@YOURCOMPANY');
$objUser->SetInfo;

# add that user to the user12 global security group
my $objGroup = Win32::OLE->GetObject("LDAP://CN=$UserDir, OU=Domain Us
+ers, DC=HEADQUARTERS,DC=YOURCOMPANY,DC=com");
$objGroup->PutEx ($ADS_PROPERTY_APPEND, "member", ["cn=$Name,ou=domain
+ users, dc=HEADQUARTERS, dc=YOURCOMPANY, dc=com"]);
$objGroup->SetInfo;

# add that user to the general users group
$objGroup = Win32::OLE->GetObject("LDAP://CN=General, CN=Users, DC=HEA
+DQUARTERS,DC=YOURCOMPANY,DC=com");
$objGroup->PutEx ($ADS_PROPERTY_APPEND, "member", ["cn=$Name,ou=domain
+ users, dc=HEADQUARTERS, dc=YOURCOMPANY, dc=com"]);
$objGroup->SetInfo;
