Recently I had a problem where I had to loop through a set of shares (actually NetWare
servers and volumes), map a drive, execute a program (that requires a drive mapping,
UNC will not work), delete the drive mapping. I could not find a way to map/unmap a
drive in Perl. I ended up calling a batch file and passing server and volume to it.
The batchfile then mapped the drive, called the program , and deleted the drive. I
had to use the same basic system for another purpose and really would like to
eliminate the batch file. Under the current setup, the success/failure of the program
is not available, nor any other debugging info. Is there a call to map a drive for
Windows in Perl ? I am using ActivePerl v5.
