Hi,

Can anyone give me some hints about how I could translate a simple JScript

function into a perl one?
The script is below, but what I don't know how to do are the following 
lines:

 AmiBroker = new ActiveXObject( "Broker.Application" );

 fso = new ActiveXObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" );

    stock = AmiBroker.Stocks.Add( fields[ 0 ] );

    WScript.Echo( "Im****ting " + fields[ 0 ] );

    date = new Date( fields[ 2 ] );

    quote = stock.Quotations.Add( date.getVarDate() );

    quote.High  = parseFloat( fields[ 3 ] );


 AmiBroker.RefreshAll();

Of course, some hints about how can I start doing this, will help me.

Thank you.

Here is the whole script:

function Im****tMsASCII( filename )
{
 var fso, f, r;
 var ForReading = 1;
 var AmiBroker;
 var date;
 var quote;
 var fields;
 var stock;

 /* Create AmiBroker app object */
 AmiBroker = new ActiveXObject( "Broker.Application" );

 /* ... and file system object */
 fso = new ActiveXObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" );

 /* open ASCII file */
 f = fso.OpenTextFile( filename, ForReading);

 /* skip first line which contains format definition */
 f.SkipLine();

 /* read the file line by line */
 while ( !f.AtEndOfStream )
 {
    r =  f.ReadLine();

    /* split the lines using comma as a separator */
    fields = r.split(",");

    /* add a ticker - this is safe operation, in case that */
    /* ticker already exists, AmiBroker returns existing one */
    stock = AmiBroker.Stocks.Add( fields[ 0 ] );

    /* notify the user */
    WScript.Echo( "Im****ting " + fields[ 0 ] );

    /* parse the date from the text file */
    date = new Date( fields[ 2 ] );

    /* add a new quotation */
    quote = stock.Quotations.Add( date.getVarDate() );

    /* put data into it */
    quote.High  = parseFloat( fields[ 3 ] );
    quote.Low   = parseFloat( fields[ 4 ] );
    quote.Close = quote.Open = parseFloat( fields[ 5 ] );
    quote.Volume = parseInt( fields[ 6 ] );

 }

 /* refresh ticker list and windows */
 AmiBroker.RefreshAll();

 /* notify the user */
 WScript.Echo( "Finished" );

}
