Try adding something like this:

if(-d 'w:\'){
 print "w:\\ is a directory\n";
 if(-R 'w:\'){
   print "w:\\ is readable\n";
 }else{
   print "w:\\ is not readbable\n";
 }
}else{
 print "w:\\ is not a directory\n";
}

    I tried it with 'w:', 'w:\' and 'w:/'. In all three cases, it says it's not a directory.

      Are you quite sure that windows agrees that the drive designator is a directory?

        I tried these: 
        C:\> perl -e "print 1 if (-d \"w:\")"
C:\> perl -e "print 1 if (-R \"w:\")"

        and both printed 1.
