After determining that NAV 2000 was the likely culprit, I
have rerun the exact same "map" script posted originally.
The results of the Novell/DOS command
map perl
script (with NAV 2000 disabled):
perl test.pl
Drives A,B,C,D,E map to a local disk.
Drive F: = USACSCMAIL01_SYS: \
----- Search Drives -----
S1: = Z:. [USACSCMAIL01_SYS: \PUBLIC]
S2: = C:\PROGRA~1\PERSON~1
S3: = C:\NOVELL\CLIENT32
S4: = C:\WINDOWS
S5: = C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
S6: = C:\MSFORT41
S7: = C:\PCW302
S8: = C:\TP7\BIN
S9: = C:\MYFILES\GOODIES
S10: = C:\BATCH
S11: = C:\CLIPPER5\BIN
S12: = C:\PERL\BIN
S13: = C:\PROGRA~1\IBM\TRACEF~1
Number of lines in @dmap: 17
For those unfamiliar with the
map command:
MAP General Help 4.13 (97081
+3)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
+--
Purpose: To assign a drive to a directory path.
Syntax: MAP [option | /VER] [search:=[drive:=]] | [drive:=] [path] [/
+W]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
+--
To: Use:
Insert a search drive. INS
Delete a drive mapping. DEL
Map the next available drive. N
Make the drive a root directory. R
Map a drive to a physical volume on a server. P
Change a regular drive to a search drive C
or a search drive to a regular drive.
Display version information /VER
Do not change master environment. /W
----------------------------------------------------------------------
+--
For example, to: Type:
Map the next available drive MAP N FS1/SYS:LOGIN
to the login directory on server FS1
Map drive W: as a search drive MAP S16:=W:=APPS:WP
to the WP directory
When used without any parameters (as in my example) map
displays all current drive mappings.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
