With Mac::Glue and Mac OS 9 (I think that is when mount_volume started
coming with Standard Additions):

#!perl -w
use Mac::Glue;
my $finder = new Mac::Glue 'Finder';

# TCP/IP
$finder->mount_volume('afp://williams');

# AppleTalk
$finder->mount_volume('Williams', on_server => 'Williams');
__END__

Note that my password is stored in the keychain, but you can also pass a
user_name and password, either as "afp://user:pass@host" (I think) or with
as_user_name => "user", with_password => "pass".
