Based on lack of info you gave you couldn't expect any help. Perl CAN access those paths, YOU cannot. > My second question is whether perl can read across a Windows network? > I've tried \\\\wvit9\\work\\ and have mapped the network drive to the > web server in an attempt to get the perl script to read the files on a > remote server with no success.

Do you assume the script will be able to see the mapped drives? The drives are mapped per USER SESSION. If you want to assigne a drive letter to a remote share you have to use "subst", not "net use". But your biggest problem are the permissions! Most probably the script runs under a LOCAL account IUSR_MACHINENAME (or maybe not, you did not tell us what webserver you use). And of course a local account CANNOT access REMOTE files. In either case please subscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED], post your question there and don't forget the webserver name&version. I don't feel like telling anyone how to set up their server. Jenda =========== [EMAIL PROTECTED] == http://Jenda.Krynicky.cz ========== There is a reason for living. There must be.
