Corian, Thank you again :) I'm very happy to have a convenient GUI example.

I was playing around with DBD::WMI. This module looks very nice. Well, let me say before asking this question, I had actually googled with the query term combinations like "Perl USB" and "Perl Device Change" but nothing strictly relevant came up. And, well, it's awesome to have all the ready example here :) Thank you!

BTW, I got the following script to detect an USB insertion event. And I'm having some trouble retrieving the volume name of the USB. I was wondering if there's a convenient way to retrieve the volume letter of the inserted USB device? Maybe I'm asking too much :) Thanks anyway! 

use DBI;

  my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:WMI:');
  my $sth = $dbh->prepare(<<WQL);
    Select * From __InstanceCreationEvent
    Within 1
    Where TargetInstance Isa 'Win32_DiskDrive'
    And TargetInstance.InterfaceType = 'USB'
WQL

 $sth->execute();
  while (my @row = $sth->fetchrow) {
    my $proc = $row->[0];
    print "USB inserted\n";
    }
