How do I connect to an NT share?

[Tve]

Hi,

I need to connect to an NT share to get some info (file contents, sizes, ....). Before I do this, I should be recognized on the sever. From the command line, I usually use the:
[tt]
NET USE \\server\share .....
[/tt]

I could do a system command from within my perl script , but I don't find this very neat ( handling errors).

How would you do it within Perl?

Hi,

Check the Win32::LanMan module, it's on CPAN .. dunno what it does, but it's a module and it should work (I've read)

Use a .cmd script get the data now call your perl script

Thierry,

what about running the net command from within your perl script and the examining the results?

there are two ways I know of to do this, the second is probably more appropriate to Perl on windows

open(NET, 'net_command|') || die;
while(<NET>){
$net_output .= $_;
# each line of output from net
}
print $net_output;

or....

$net_output = `net_command`;
print $net_output;
