Hi Guys
I am having problems with the simplest of things at the moment…
I am trying to map a drive to a remote share and
I used the following code, which works fines, but how can capture the drive letter that the OS assigned, i.e the "I" letter as in the example below?
system 'net.exe use * \\\\server_1212\\d$';
Drive I: is now connected to \\ server_1212\d$.
The command completed successfully.
And, instead of using net use command, is there something that is Perl native and faster that this command?... I have tried Lanman and NetResource, but they didn't work, when they did work (i.e. no error messages) I did not get a drive letter or an icon representation of the drive in "My Computer". I can't use File::Op because this requires downloading the library, and for which I don't have ftp access and even if I did have ftp access, ppm doesn't work for some reason (no matter how many times I have installed Perl and checked the path) every time I type ppm it chucks an error and with that my beloved message "Perl is not in your path"!?!? So I have to use something that is built into the Perl installation.
Many Thanks guys.

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).

are good places to start.
