in thread SCSI operations in Perl

Yes, I do need to make this work on Windows (2003 and 2000, specifically). I'm not easily capable of extending Device::SCSI; otherwise, I'd gladly extend the prior work.

But, if I do have to try to extend Device::SCSI, do you have any helpful suggestions? For instance, the Linux implementation looks for instances of /dev/sg??; this same technique will not work on Windows (I think). So, what would work, that could be used programatically from Perl?

Thanks tl

    Nope, Wintendo doesn't have device files. Best guess is going to look and see if there's either a set of Win32 calls for accessing raw SCSI devices, or some DLL which gives you the same which you can get at through Win32::API or the like.

    (I'm not a Wintendo person; does it show? :)
