I'm a newbie so that explains this question:
 
Is VBScript capable of doing the same things as Perl?  I know that certain
languages have strong points, etc. and that this is an extremely broad
question.  But I am wanting to convert a Perl script into VBScript for an
engineering project I am doing and was wondering if VBScript could do it. 
I've attached the script (which I did not write, and am not trying to take
credit for).  Please take a look at it if you can and let me know if
VBScript could do something similar.  Thanks.
