PerlScript was initially solely an ActiveX Scripting Engine produced by the company ActiveState for use with Microsoft Microsoft s Internet Information Services IIS that allows for programmers to use Perl based code in addition to, or in place of, VBScript or JScript in the context of web servers running the Active Server Pages ASP protocol. Subsequently http www.apache asp.org Apache ASP was created for the Apache HTTP Server Apache web server, which allows for coding with only Perl , but neither VBScript nor JScript. PerlScript can also be used to write Windows Script Host based programs, similar to VBScript . Standalone PerlScripts can be executed if they are created with the file extension .pls, in which case they do not require enclosing XML , e.g. source lang perl use strict our WScript WScript Echo Hello, world source .pls files do not gain access to drag and drop Windows Script Host WSH functionality. PerlScripts which have the extension wsf require XML tags which specify the job id and script language, e.g. Job ID DropFiles script language PerlScript use strict our WScript WScript Echo Displaying names of dropped files my arg WScript Arguments my countArgs arg Count for my i 0 i countArgs i WScript Echo arg Item i script Job wsf PerlScripts gain access to Windows Script Host WSH drag and drop functionality, similarly to Perl Droplets in the now obsolete MacPerl . Most Windows Script Host WSH objects are available via the implicitly created WScript object.
