require Win32:: DriveInfo;

$TotalNumberOfFreeBytes = (Win32:: DriveInfo:: DriveSpace('c:'))[6];
$TotalNumberOfBytes = (Win32:: DriveInfo:: DriveSpace('c:'))[5];

+Bytes\n";
};
print $@,"\ndone!";

This perl script can execute successful in linux, but print out a message when I execute this Perl script in windoowXP. 
Too late to run INIT block at C:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/API/Type.pm line
