Logging onto and mapping a share in windows

[davido]

By what means can I enable a script to log into and map a network shared drive in Windows Vista Home Premium? Is there a module that facilitates the process? I'd like to compose a script that automatically logs me into my NAS's shares, which I have set up to request a username and password.

Use the Map function in the Win32::FileOp module.

davido:

Windows provides the "net" command, which can perform the mount. You can use the "use" option to map a drive. See the help screen:

$ net use /?
The syntax of this command is:

NET USE 
[devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume] [password | *]]
        [/USER:[domainname\]username]
        [/USER:[dotted domain name\]username]   
        [/USER:[username@dotted domain name]      
        [/SMARTCARD]
        [/SAVECRED]
        [[/DELETE] | [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]]

NET USE {devicename | *} [password | *] /HOME

NET USE [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]

Well, the Google search phrase "perl map network share" brings back quite a few entries. Is there anything in the first few hits that didn't work for you?
