You have many options here. One is to use a commandline tool to access an smb share (i think smb and cifs are the same thing?). On linux and friends you'd use samba, on windows there's got to be some command that behaves the same way. You would then have to use the "run" sub (with :out and probably also :err) or Proc::Async in order to communicate commands to that program and get results back. A better idea is to look for a module that you can use for these tasks. There is most probably a python module or a perl5 module that implements what you need. You can load those with Inline::Python and Inline::Perl5 respectively. Good Luck!
