How do I permanently change a shortcut's target path with perl script? -

i trying figure out perl's win32::shortcut module, , how change shortcut paths said module. personal project , plan manage shortcuts script

#!/usr/local/bin/perl  use win32::shortcut; use strict;  $link;  $link = new win32::shortcut(); $link->load("c:\\users\\jimbo\\desktop\\vlc media player.lnk"); $link->{'path'} = "http://www.google.com//";  $link->save(); $link->close();
