my apologies... i certainly didn't mean to offend. just didn't understand the response and was making a joke. i am just learning perl and don't want to take up too much of anyone's time. my original attempt to send a command to diskpart.exe looked something like this: 
open ( FH , "diskpart rescan|" ) || die ( "Failed to open filehandle.\
+n" ) ;
my @inFile = <FH> ; # read all at once into array
foreach (@inFile){
        print $_."\t";
}

Being a novice to Perl, I sometimes don't know when a question I have may be totally idiotic so I try to keep my questions short. Again, no offense intended.
