You cannot execute a VBScript from within a Linux environment. You cannot execute a bash from within a windows environment.

Or Python, Bash, PHP, etc. That is one of the things that I like about scripting/programming. There are lots of ways to do something.

Then I shouldn't be able to do this in Windows.

dd.exe if=/dev/random bs=1 count=8 2>stderr.bin > binfile.bin

But I do.

You do it in native windows? Or are you using an emulator like cygwin?

you are correct that Perl may be installed already. I can assure you that Bash or some similar shell is.
