    I have written a perl program that runs under Windows 2000 and it would be
    very useful to be able to move files created by the program onto a unix
    server when the program exits. I thought I might do this by mapping a Samba
    share from the unix box and moving the the files over with Win32API::File or
    system(). But I don't know
    1) how to be sure what drive letter Windows used to map the remote
    directory, which I guess really comes down to knowing how to ask Windows if
    a particular drive is a network share,
    2) whether the directory is actually writable - will -W work as expected ?
    3) how to remount the directory from within perl if it isn't available. I've
    looked without success for a module that does this as I expect it is beyond
    my modest skills.

    I would be greatful if anyone could suggest ways to achieve these things or
    perhaps suggest an alternative approach.

    Thanks
