I want to write a VB code that calls a perl script and write the value of a few arguments into the perl script. I don't want to execute the pl file. The final output should be the perl script(.pl file) with the user entered value of those arguments.
How do I do that?
It is urgent, do help.
Thanks

What I have tried:

I am not much familiar with perl and its functioning.

A perl script is just another text file with a pl extension. You can use VB or VBA to write to a text file.

You tagged the question VBA, but then as VB in the actual question. Which are you really using? Because writing to a file is different between the two.

VBA:
