[Samba] SMBCLIENT and PERL

[William R. Knox]

Well, the difference could well be that you are using single quotes, which
prevents interpretation of the % as a hash variable (i.e. in Brian's
version, %testpass is being interpreted as a hash), so Brian's would work
if he changed

open(SMBCLIENT,"|/usr/bin/smbclient //thor/w-drive -U testuser%testpass");

to

open(SMBCLIENT,'|/usr/bin/smbclient //thor/w-drive -U testuser%testpass');

Good luck.
