Actually you can use Win32::OLE and the IIS ADSI Provider to query and modify IIS properties. I haven't played with it much but there are some good examples in Dave Roth's "Win32 Perl Scripting - Admin Handbook". Go Dave!
There are metabase schema difference between WinNT 4.0 and Windows 2000 IIS so don't expect code you write for NT 4.0 to automagically work on 2000. Dave also mentions this in his book.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Re: how to control the setting of IIS 5.0 by using perl
IIS settings are controlled by the IIS Metabase, which is
similar to but not the same as the system registry. To my
knowledge, there is not a perl module to read and write to
the IIS metabase. If there is, I would be VERY interested in
it...
The easiest way to modify the metabase that I know of is
through VBscript, either from the shell or embedded in an
ASP file.
