Hello Perlmonks community!

My name is Peter, i just signed up and posting the first time to seek the wisdom of the perkmonks community...

im not a novice perl coder, but today i got some ad code snippet of my company which i need to include into my application.

They send me the code in "C" , it is short and easy to readout... i tried the whole day but i wasnt successfull converting this code to Perl - since im not that familar with dwords and getdriveinformations!

This is what the complete "C" snipped code of it looks like:





   char drivenamestr[32];
   strcpy(drivenamestr, "C:\\");
   DWORD sn=0, ignored1, ignored2;

   for (int drivename='C'; drivename<='Z'; drivename++) {
     drivenamestr[0]=drivename;
     if (GetVolumeInformation(drivenamestr, 0, 0, &sn, &ignored1, &ign
+ored2,0, 0))
       break;
   };

   if (!sn) sn=0xE16E;
   sn^=0x35AF;
   srand(sn);

   volatile DWORD r32=0;
   for (int i=0; i<11; i++) {
     r32<<=15;
     r32|=rand();
   };

   DWORD generated_check=(rand()<<16) | rand();
   char gcheck[64];
   sprintf(gcheck, "%x", generated_check);
