No, Win32::Lanman will not return mapped drives, and yes, Win32::Lanman and
Win32::NetAdmin should return similar results on the surface, but if I'm not
mistaken, Win32::Lanman returns an array of hash references with information
about the drives as well, which should let you distinguish between removable
media, etc.
In general, the reason why I go with Win32::Lanman when I can is that you
can usually replace two or three other modules with it, and there is
virtually nothing you can do remotely with the Win32 API that Win32::Lanman
doesn't cover. The only drawback is that it is SO expansive that you can
get lost in the documentation.

Timothy and Shishir,
I am not quite sanguine on whether Win32::Lanman returns all the drives
(including mapped-drives). I am sure its
Win32::Lanman::NetServerDiskEnum("servername", \@disks) function returns
the same output as Win32::NetAdmin. BTW, I guess Win32::NetAdmin comes
with default flavor of ActiveState for Windows.
However for the other two, you can get the modules here:
For Win32::Lanman -->
ftp://ftp.roth.net/pub/ntperl/others/Lanman/
<ftp://ftp.roth.net/pub/ntperl/others/Lanman/>
For Win32::AdminMisc --> ftp://ftp.roth.net/pub/ntperl/AdminMisc/
<ftp://ftp.roth.net/pub/ntperl/AdminMisc/>
Cheers,
Rex

If it is fixed drives, you can use the Win32::NetAdmin module:
C:\Perl\rex>perl -MWin32::NetAdmin -e
"Win32::NetAdmin::GetServerDisks('',
\@arr); print qq[Fixed Drives in this Machine are: \n];for(@arr){ print
qq[$_\n];}"
Fixed Drives in this Machine are:
A:
C:
D:
Please note that this module does not give Mapped-Drives and it does not
distinguish between hard/floppy/CD drives. Am not sure, if you need
extended
functionality, but if you do, I guess there is a module called
Win32::AdminMisc, with a function to specify type of drives desired.I
have
not tried that module, yet.
Thanks,
Rex

Hi,
Sometime back, someone had posted the module to get the drives on
Windows
system on my request. Think it was either Nikola Janceski or Beau Cox.
Could
you pls resend the zipped file or the link to it. Appreciate it!!
Thanks
Shishir
