$object would contain a permissions object (probably Win32::Perms) or more likely
another has reference like so:
$root->{C}->{winnt}->{system}->{ACL} = $object;
$root->{C}->{winnt}->{system}->{path} = "\\server\c$\WINNT\SYSTEM";
$root->{C}->{winnt}->{system}->{time} = time();
$root->{C}->{winnt}->{system}->{size} = 11890;
I was messing around with using the eval statement, as I have made good use of it in
the past in Javascript, but it isn't doing what I had hoped. I must be
misunderstanding something...

$server = "servername";
$drive = "C";
@dirs = `dir /A:D /B /-C /O:N /S \\\\$server\\$drive\$`;
foreach $dir ( @dirs )
{
### use dir to get the directories and then split it up
$dir =~ s/\\\\$server\\$drive\$\\//;
@dirParts = split( /\\/, $dir );
### set up the strings for an eval statement
$evalString = '$root';
$evalStringValue = ' "\\\\'.$server.'\\'.$drive.'$';
### loop through the directory aplit line array
$i = 0;
while ( $dirParts[$i] ne "" )
{
chomp $dirParts[$i];
### add the hash reference to the eval string
$evalString .= '->{'.$dirParts[$i].'}';
### add the directory to the eval value
$evalStringValue .= '\\'.$dirParts[$i];
$i++;
}
### finish up the eval strings
$evalString .= '->{var_Path} = ';
$evalStringValue .= '"';
### this prints the command I wish to run
print $evalString.$evalStringValue."\n";
eval { $evalString.$evalStringValue };
}
### this tests whether or not the eval statement created the hash tree
### p.s. it didn't
print 'test is '.$root->{WINNT}->{System32}->{Logfiles}->{var_Path}." \n";

Depends, what does $object contain ?
How will you treat files and links vs dirs in the hash ?
