I can't reproduce your "Deep recursion" error, but I do encounter quite a few errors with the Win32::NetName package you refer to. Some of these are extremely trivial syntax errors such as: 

Parentheses missing around "my" list at d:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/VolumeI
+nformation.pm line 41

[download]

Which relates to this line of code: 

my $name,$serial,$maxlen,$flags,$fstype;

[download]

Which is, as the error message suggests a plain and simple syntax error. To me this indicates that the module is a ways short of being ready for prime time, and your best hope of getting some assistance with the problem would be to contact the author directly via his CPAN id.

Were this the only error, I would try taking the obvious remedial action, but I encountered various other anomolies with the module, some of which aren't consistantly reproducible, so I think that correction is best left to the author.
