Using script to create a Web Extension containing quotes (")

I need to create a web extension that contains quotes (") as part of an
installation script. I am using the IISExt.vbs script and can successfully
add the extension with everything correct EXCEPT the quote characters.

C:\Perl\Bin\perl.exe "%s" %s

No matter what I've tried it doesn't seem to work.
^" "" """ "
All of these fail.

Has anyone had success in doing this?

IISExt /addfile "C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe "%s" %s" 1 "Perl CGI" 1 "Perl CGI"

Update:
OK, I have a way around it now; still not ideal but it works:

Created a new .vbs script IISExtAddPerl.vbs

Option explicit
dim WebServiceObj

Set WebServiceObj = GetObject("IIS://localhost/W3SVC")
WebServiceObj.AddExtensionFile "C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe ""%s"" %s", True, "Perl
CGI", True, "Perl CGI"
WebServiceObj.SetInfo

The reason it does not work from the commandline is because of two
things:
1. command shell parses parameters based on "
2. Windows Script Host collapses multiple " into a single "

Thus, none of what you tried will work. You will either have to write
explicit code (which you've done), or use a different escaping for
" (I use `` for this purpose).
