Unless you are going to hit that directory heavily and or constantly; I wouldn't. It would mean a little more coding for mapping and verifying errors(especically if you use a scheduler).

You can use backticks but personally, I like to stay with Perl and the Modules.

You could look at the NetResource module for dealing with shares.

It would be better to use one of the Win32 modules to do this. That way it'll be easier to handle errors.

Take a look for example at Win32::FileOp's Map().

Why? Isn't this place about helping? What would be the correct times to attempt a solution? 10, 1000?

At least he kept working at it after the post and later returned to say he corrected it.

Don't forget as a noob, the obvious is not always that apparent.

If you are just not seeing the mistake, is it wrong to post "What am I missing?"
