The OP and I worked on this one on IRC... Our main problems were these:
- $smbfilehandle isn't a "real" filehandle, it's a number that SmbClient uses to track its open files
- XBase uses the value of the 'fh' parameter like an object, so we need an IO::Handle for this
- Filesys::SmbClient doesn't provide a tied object like when using IO::Handle, so we must either use special read calls, or only builtins
- It's possible to make a subclass for XBase that knows how to work with SmbClient, but that's quite a bit of work.
I think using mounted locations is the simplest solution, but in case any monk has an idea... it would be appreciated.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
