Its a file, on a CDRW. Networked files on the same machine work fine. The same files on the same CD, using the same program, same path work fine. Its only when I try to open a file (any file) on this one particular drive on this one particular machine, and only from perl, that I have a problem. I can access the same file, on the same machine by typing "type E:\BU_0\C\Prefs" at the DOS prompt. I can also open any clickable file by double-clicking or using the Windows Open dialog from an appropriate app. The E: drive is a CDRW, using UDF software. Know of any peculiarities which can arise with UDF?
