Well, looking here at the source to df on OpenBSD:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/bin/df/df.c?rev=1.37&content-t
ype=text/x-cvsweb-markup
it looks as though it uses getmntinfo() to get information about free
space. This function call may be implemented in some perl module, or you
could be brave and use syscall() to call it. I'll work on that for kicks
and get back to the list. Your friend will have to see if this function
exists on all his unix platforms.

On Windows, I'd use Win32::DriveInfo

Why is that? That is the point of modules.
