I have been asked to convert a Windows Script File into a Perl script for someone. I don't have any WSF scripting skills & wondered if any PerlMonks out there would be kind enough to help me convert it.

Please do not vote this down if you don't like it because it is a WSF scripting question. Consider it as assisting a WSF fanatic to convert to Perl, and a small starting point for any PerlMonks who have similar problems in future!

<job>
<script language="VBScript">

Dim Test

# Take a look at the Running Object Table for "MMT.VideoServeAutomatio
+n.1" (known as the program ID)
# Return an object pointer to currently running instance of the object
+.

Set Test=GetObject (,"MMT.VideoServeAutomation.1")
Set Vid = Test.VideoServeStatus

# Take Vid object & connects it so it gets the windows event.

WScript.ConnectObject Vid,"ie_"

WScript.Sleep (800000)

Sub    ie_Connected ( number, CallerID)
    MsgBox "Hello"
End Sub

Sub    ie_DisConnected ( number)
    MsgBox "Goodbye!"
End Sub

Sub    ie_DTMFTone (Cardnumber,Tone)
    MsgBox "Tone!"
End Sub

</script>
