checkout Filesys::SmbClientParser for the smbclient usage, and you can use a range of IP addresses for your internal network and ping to test if they are active before you try to list their shares to save some timeout time.

    a pretty easy method is to loop through the IP's calling 
     
open ( COMMAND, "nmblookup -A $IPAddress |" );

my @DATA = <COMMAND>; 

close COMMAND;

parse (@DATA); #using regex
