Why not just use a UNC...

#!d:\perl\bin\perl.exe -w
use strict;
my $server = "192.168.0.5";           # or something
my $dir = "\\\\$server\\c\$\\temp";   # open c:\temp on $server
opendir (DIR, $dir) or die "cannot opendir $dir";
foreach (readdir(DIR)){
    #do something
}

I am not sure if this works - I think it does - I know it works if $server is the actual Win32::NodeName(). And I know that you can type "\\ip.address\c$\temp" in the Start > Run dialogue box.

If this fails, then just share the remote path use Win32::NetResource

Of course, all this depends on you having read permissions on the remote machine.
