Greetings. on my machine:
C:\> perl - e 42 -d Default die handler restored. Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.07 Editor support available. Enter h or `h h' for help, or `perldoc perldebug' for more help. main::(-e:1): 42 DB<1> opendir(DIR,'//webteam/') || warn($!) No such file or directory at (eval 4)[D:/Perl/lib/perl5db.pl:1521] line 2. DB<2> opendir(DIR,'//webteam/discoc/') || warn($!) DB<3> x readdir(DIR) 0 'AUTOEXEC.BAT' 1 'baseclasses.log' 2 'bin' 3 'boot.ini' [...] //webteam is a machine name, //webteam/discoc a share name. So it should work (except if you want the share list of a machine, which you can get by using capabilities from the Win32:: namespace - or even from parsing `net view \\\\machine`...) Also if you are running apache as a service, be warned that the default impersonating user (LocalSystem) does not typically have access permissions to net share (this is especially true under NT Domain) - therefore you have to change the impersonating user of the service. (iven you have a working example this should not be your situation, however) Cheers, alf P.S: I have a feeling this may be OT, on the mod_perl list...
