Customarily, you'll get more useful assistance (which we do offer, freely, and often with real pleasure) if you

• show us what you've tried (eg: code))
• Show that you've put some effort into the job... as, for example, citing a node or document that (got you started || didn't quite do what you wanted, but left you with a subordinate problem || at least demonstrates that you've actually taken some steps toward becoming aware of perl's capabilities.

I'd suggest you update your original node (update! not replace) with at bit more info... the above, plus what diskpart.exe expects as input and perhaps what its output looks like... and perhaps some code that reflects your attempt to understand and act on shmem's suggestion.
