If all that's too complex, how about just using the output of 'chkdsk'?
my $dskinfo = `chkdsk`;
You can figure out how to parse that... pretty easy.
If you're on a unix system, you can use the df shell command.

This isn't 20 questions. I'm not going to be able to guess what you want if you don't tell me.
After searching CPAN for a proper solution and reading the POD for Filesys::DiskFree, you can set out to install that module, work on your own solution and possibly learn something along the way. If you get stuck, feel free to post a followup to this thread with a question detailing a specific issue that you are having trouble getting past.

Point your web browser to http://search.cpan.org and start searching. None of the solutions you've been provided over the course of the last two threads you've started on the same subject have met with your liking. Maybe you'll have better luck searching for yourself.

You should really learn how to search... searching df on CPAN gives some interesting results. There is also Super Search, search "disk size": node 340945, node 340212 and Determine volume size on Windows, a thread started by you today... You should also specify what OS you are using to get a useful answer.
Ciao, Valerio
CDROMINF - Version 1.2 (11/29/96)CDROMINF is a DOS command line program to display information about the installed CDROM drives, the MSCDEX driver, and any CD or CDROM discs loaded in the drive. It supports both IDE (ATAPI) and SCSI CDROM drives. It now also detects ATASPI drivers under DOS.
When I run this on my windows 98 / vmware instance I get the following output
CDROMINF Version 1.2 - MSCDEX, ASPI, ATASPI and DPMI exerciser (C) 1993-96 - Computall Services DPMI is installed, version: 0.90 ASPI is installed. ATASPI is not installed. MSCDEX is installed.

As you can see there are command line tools for windows to get this kind of information (I found quite a lot of them, including the cdrecord collection of tools). I suggest you give this one a try.
Next time, do your own homework, and don't complain about the lack of command line tools on windows - Perl itself is not installed on a fresh windows machine either, yet somehow it's on your yours.
