Creating a dropdown list is pretty straight-forward in Tk and knowing your past postings I'm sure you can competantly do that. If you're wanting a quick way to get the list of mapped drive letters on Windows, look at Win32::DriveInfo. It has that capability (and the inverse list too). It'll even let you determine if the drive is writeable, etcetera if you'd like that info too.

#!perl
use Tk;
use Tk::BrowseEntry;
use Win32::DriveInfo;
@drives = Win32::DriveInfo::DrivesInUse();
@drives = map ($_ . ":", @drives);
@freelet = Win32::DriveInfo::FreeDriveLetters();
@freelet = map ($_ . ":", @freelet);

$mw = new MainWindow;
$d = $mw->BrowseEntry(-label => "Mapped Drives", 
            -variable => \$var,
            -state => 'readonly',
            -choices => \@drives)->pack;
$f = $mw->BrowseEntry(-label => "Free Drives",
            -variable => \$var1,
            -state => 'readonly',
            -choices => \@freelet)->pack;
MainLoop;

I try not to downvote without giving explanation. So I am explaining why I am downvoting this node:

• No mention given of what the poster knows or has tried to do so far
• No specific point that s/he needs help with
• It looks completely like a scurvy ploy to get other people to write the code completely for her/im.

It seems the Win32::DriveInfo by arden is what I'm looking for. Thanks mate. The dropdown menu option still eludes me. Maybe I'm missing something obvious which is highly probable but I've looked. The code I can write myself, just need to know a useable module for win32. Anyone?

Thanks for your feedback, I'll consider that next time I post. :-) Sorry for the short initial post with little history but I was racing to a meeting. I wasn't for laziness or lack of looking. Sometimes even the obvious can elude us.

Try either one of Tk::Optionmenu, Tk::BrowseEntry, or just use a list of Buttons.
