You have a syntax error in your edit. Likely a missing semicolon at the end of a line.

    Hi, Here is the script 
    #!perl

use warnings;
use strict;
use Win32::OLE;

my $d = $fs->GetDrive('Y:') or die ;
my $TotalSize = $d->{TotalSize};
my $FreeSpace = $d->{FreeSpace};
my $usedSpace = $d->{TotalSize} -= $d->{FreeSpace};
my $AvailableSpace = $d->{AvailableSpace} *=100;
my $AvailUsed = $AvailableSpace  /= $d->{TotalSize}; 
my $SpaceLeft = $d->{AvailableSpace} /= $AvailUsed; 
my $MappedDriveSpaceAvailable =  $AvailUsed *= 100;
print $MappedDriveSpaceAvailable;

    I have been looking and I do not see any syntax errors. any suggestions?

      Yes, you completely dropped the creation of the OLE filesystem object, thus $fs is left undefined. And you dropped the error message from the die statement.

      my $fs = Win32::OLE->CreateObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject');
my $d = $fs->GetDrive('Y:') or die "GetDrive failed $!";
