Hi,

What you can do with Win32 and Win32::NetResource and Win32::Lanman. is pretty much all you want. Don't spend time on writing perl as a wrapper interface to cmd, but dig into the modules. (they all come with ActiveState)

Just a hint:

Win32::Login(); # gives you the loging name
Win32::NetResource::AddConnection() # add connection
[download]

I hope this helps
