Nope! It seems that I'm not the only one that can't get this to work! Funnily enough I have tried returning the output to a variable (List &/or Scalar) and they remain resolutely empty! This module must store the output somewhere and that's the real problem - where? Any ideas? The following code -
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Filesys::DiskFree;
$handle = new Filesys::DiskFree ;
my $count = 0 ;
$disc = '/dev/vx/dsk/var';
my $crap = $handle->device($disc) ;
print "\n\t$crap\n" ;
when run results in -

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at acc_filestore_monitor.pl line 8.

That would be because crap is empty. Trying the disks method returning the results (or so I thought) to an array produced the same error. I'm quite willing to accept that I can be somewhat dim at times but, not being familiar with methods etc to any great degree, I do think that the description of this module and it's use would leave someone with more knowledge on the subject scratching their heads! I'm probably going to use Filesys::Df to perform this function but I would like to get to the bottom of this as I don't like to be defeated in this fashion.
