Well, asking someone to do your work is fine, if anyone knows how to do what you want. Seeing that you don't, either, why take on the task?

I'm not aware if there are ways to call a Perl's script directly from Visual Basic.

I think you have to translate the script in VB code or creating a .dll that contains the Perl code and then export the functions so that VB can access 'em.

I suggest to translate from Perl to VB (even if it's possible, 'cause VB suffers of some limitations).
