I'm searching everywhere I can think of for an answer, so I thought I might as well try here, too...

Can anyone direct me to WMI methods for setting things? So far in my search, all I've found in WMI is how to retrieve information; nothing to actually change information!

Specifically, I'd like to find ways to create methods to set Video refresh rate, horizontal and vertical resolution, and perhaps other stuff as well.

BTW, I'll be doing all this in Perl--that's my justification, however lame it may be, for posting this here.

Thanks, O wise ones!!
