Using Powershell to create Pervasive database

Question

In my quest to replace a bunch of old scripts and programs (blend of VB, bat files, manual intervention) to automate some processes, I'm trying to create a pervasive.sql database with Powershell. They currently use an old VB script to do this, and the code
is as follows:
Function CreatedB(strPath,strDDFPath,strdBName)
 Set mdtoDatabase = CreateObject("DTO.DtoDatabase.2")
 With mdtoDatabase
  mdtoDatabase.DataPath = strPath
  mdtoDatabase.DdfPath = strDDFPath
  mdtoDatabase.Name = strdBName
  mdtoDatabase.Flags = iFlags
 End With
 result = mdtoSession.Databases.Add(mdtoDatabase)
 If result > 0 Then
  msgbox "Error Adding DBN. Result: " & cstr(result)
  If cstr(result) = 7012 Then
  Else
   strDBMsg = strDBMsg & "NEED ATTENTION: Error adding DB " & strdBName & ". Result: " & cstr(result)
  End If
 End if
End Function
Seems pretty simple! However, I'm not sure how to, or if I can, get this ported to Powershell directly. Not sure that PS has the ability to work with DTO ? I could sure use some guidance on this one...I am open to other suggestions as well. I've been looking
at possibly using ado.net, but that seems to connect to "existing" dbs, and I can't really see anything to actually create a new db.
Thanks in advance!

JRV, by telling me it "was" possible, and giving me the above, I was able to use the get-member to figure out which aspects I needed, and I was actually able to do this! Guess I understood it a little better than I thought! Thanks for the nudge!
$Path = 'E:\myPath'
$DDFPath = 'E:\myPath'
$dBName = 'myDb'
$Flags = 0
$TaskUser = 'MyUser'
$TaskPass = 'MyPass'
$mdtoSession = New-Object -ComObject DTO.DtoSession
$connected = $mdtoSession.connect('localhost', $TaskUser, $TaskPass)
if ($mdtoSession.connected)
    echo 'connected'
    $mdtoDatabase = New-Object -ComObject DTO.DtoDatabase
    $mdtoDatabase.DataPath = $Path
    $mdtoDatabase.DdfPath = $DDFPath
    $mdtoDatabase.Name = $dBName
    $mdtoDatabase.Flags = $Flags
    $mdtoSession.Databases.Add($mdtoDatabase)
    else
    echo 'no go'
...and voila! My db was created!
