It is not completely clear to me from the question, if the requirement is to
copy
windows<->windows or windows<->unix
If the former, perhaps there is no need of additional modules. File::Copy
handles UNC
path just fine...as in:
use File::Copy;
copy("\\\\servername\\sharename\\dirname\\file.txt $destPathName") or die $!;
Samba would enable the same method between OS platforms.
