in thread Error with GetDRIVE() when using a mapped drive

Aha!, Thanks a lot. I noticed too and I changed it. Here is the code 
#!perl

use warnings;
use strict;
use Win32::OLE;


my $fs = Win32::OLE->CreateObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject');
my $d = $fs->GetDrive('Y:') or die "GetDrive failed $!";
my $TotalSize = $d->{TotalSize};
my $FreeSpace = $d->{FreeSpace};
my $usedSpace = $d->{TotalSize} -= $d->{FreeSpace};
my $AvailableSpace = $d->{AvailableSpace} *=100;
my $AvailUsed = $AvailableSpace  /= $d->{TotalSize}; 
my $SpaceLeft = $d->{AvailableSpace} /= $AvailUsed; 
my $MappedDriveSpaceAvailable =  $AvailUsed *= 100;
print "em_result=$MappedDriveSpaceAvailable";

Now, there are the errors

GetDrive failed Bad file descriptor at E:\APPL\OEM\NetworkDriveCheck.pl line 9.

    Weird... What is that Y: drive, then? A mapped network share? Can you see its properties the "normal" way?

    Is it in the Drives collection? - i.e. would my code snippet try to list it?

      Y drive is a network drive. Here are the results of the snippet 

      DriveLetter: Y
DriveType: 3
IsReady: 1
FileSystem: NTFS
TotalSize: 2594847440896

        Hmmm... that's 2.5 TB - works here with 8 TB ... That raises the following questions:
        • do the numbers look correct, if you execute in a command line shell
          wmic logicaldisk where DeviceID="Y:"

        • are you using a 64bit or 32bit Perl?
          (Although that shouldn't matter, works here with 5.14.2 i386 and 5.18.2 x64)
        • Versions of Perl, Win32::OLE, Windows (also, 64 or 32 bit Windows)?
