There is a script at the Roth site (same place U get Win32::AdminMisc)
called diskpig.pl that I think is exactly what U are looking for. If U are
going to be doing alot of Win32 Admin stuff, it would be to your advantage
to learn Win32::AdminMisc. It can do so many things and the interface is
pretty easy to learn.
