  • I had a problem with the lastLogin field of user accounts when querying ADSI with Win32::OLE.

    The trick was to use Win32::OLE::Variant:

    use Win32::OLE::Variant;
    use Time::Local;

    #snipped for brevity

    my $unixtime = date2unix( Variant(VT_DATE, $object->Get("lastLogin")) );

    exit 0;

    sub date2unix {
      my $date = shift || return -11644473600;

      if ($date =~ /^([0-9]{2})\/([0-9]{2})\/([0-9]{4}) ([0-9]{2}):([0-9]{2}):([0-9]{2})/) {
         return timelocal($6,$5,$4,$1,$2-1,$3);
      }
    }
