PerlScript is an ActiveX Scripting Engine produced by the company ActiveState. It can be used by programmers in addition to, or in place of, VBScript or JScript in the context of web servers running the ASP protocol. PerlScript can also be used to write Windows Scripting 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. pls files do not gain access to drag and drop WSH functionality. PerlScripts which have the extension wsf require XML tags which specify the job id and script language. wsf PerlScripts gain access to WSH drag and drop functionality.

Most WSH objects are available via the implicitly created $WScript object.
