That's something I might not be able to help you with. I think that in order to open a directory on a *NIX box, you would have to use an NFS mount or some other way of mounting the remote volume on your machine, but I'm not remotely a UNIX guru.
Network paths that require a logon is a tougher one. On Windows I would probably just map the drive. If you want to go down that road you can check out Win32::Lanman's NetUseAdd() function. It's a huge module, but it has just about every Win32 networking API there is. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Kraus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 12:05 PM To: 'Paul Kraus'; 'Timothy Johnson'; 'Perl' Subject: RE: Directory Handle - Network Math NOT mapped This worked great on my dev machine (win xp pro) but when I sent it to my sco box (openserver 5) it does not understand the UNC paths.
