Declaring and initializing variables
In last month's column, I discussed the structure of a script. I divide scripts into three sections: declarations and initializations, the body of the script, and function and subroutine definitions. This month, I continue my journey into the fundamentals of scripting by examining the declaration and initialization section in detail. Before we start, you need to know some VBScript basics to ease your transition to Windows Scripting Host (WSH).

My employer mandates that Perl is our scripting language. I noted that all of the articles in this series assume that VB is the scripting language, but this is not acceptable here. Is it possible to use Perl to create WSH scripts?
