in reply to get disk usage details like free, used, available for windows drives with sizes in TB

Filesys::Diskspace seems to be Unix-ish only, Filesys::DfPortable might have problems with NTFS.
A Windows-only solution could involve parsing the output of 
`wmic logicaldisk where DriveType="3" get /format:csv`

using Text::CSV. If you don't want to exclude optical drives, mounted shares, etc, you can leave off the where DriveType="3" part.

    Thanks you so much for your comments..
    The concern here is, Windows 2000 doesnt support wmic.

    I am just looking for the solution which should work in all Windows OS >= Windows 2000.

      Try this: 

      C:\Windows\System32>fsutil volume diskfree c:
Total # of free bytes        : 143714562048
Total # of bytes             : 627247673344
Total # of avail free bytes  : 143714562048

        already tried the same... command doesnt exist on Windows 2000.
        C:\>fsutil 'fsutil' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

        tried and got error as below,

        fsutil is not recognized as an internal or external command

      Another option, you could use DBD::WMI with the following query:

      Select DeviceID,Size,FreeSpace from Win32_LogicalDisk
