wintellers ==>
OK, I'm a *NIX dude.
Nevertheless, I need to do most everything cross platform.
One of my current tasks is to build a program that first finds every
single file currently known to a remote host. With *NIX, that is easy:
find / -print
On wintel, it is quite another story. Last year, I built some SNMP
stuff that identified all drive letters; but, that is not applicable
here.
At one time, I iterated through the list A .. Z and stopped one short of
first failure. Unfortunately, then I ran into a system that had gaps
between drives. Yes, it can happen -- for those of you who doubt it ;)
My primary concern is NT v4x and later; but, I'd really like to find a
solution that works on all windoze . . .
So, what is the simplest, most reliable, *fastest* way to do this within
Perl?
What do you think?
