Hi
The code is working fine on my windows 7 virtual box. I have mapped a drive to E:// and it gives me numeric output.
For the error case, I ran your code in debug mode (perl -d program.pl) and see from line 9 onwards the output of $fs->GetDrive('Y:'); is undef.
This changes if you update the value to C:, as you pointed.
update Is the drive you are trying to map a folder on the same machine(i used a folder on my machine so no permission / network access /privilege issues), or a network drive. If its a network drive, you might need to recheck the documentation if the invocation is right.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
