perl -le "print for glob ('c:\\dev\\*')"

The above command prints out 

    c:\dev\import
    c:\dev\lib
    c:\dev\test.pl

etc.  This is what I'd expect.

    perl -le "print for glob ('\\\\MyServer\\MyShare\\MyDir\\*')"

This prints nothing.  However, the command

    dir \\MyServer\MyShare\MyDir\*

does print out the list of files in that directory.  So I know there are
files there, and I know that at some level the filesystem can parse that
syntax.  Why does glob() not work?  Is there a way to get a list of
files that match a pattern, whether those files are on a local drive or
on a server share?

Thanks,
Eric J. Roode
