http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32385729/how-to-pass-filepath-as-a-parameter-to-url-using-perl
I am testing my perl code. I want to pass filepath as a paramter to the URL of the page. The perl code is dependent on this filepath entirely. When i set the filepath inside my perl code. (hard coded path), i am able to execute the perl code without any errors. Here is the variable     my $filename="\\\\sfoaepmdata.dcc.com\\folder\\data.txt"; If i pass it via URL, it doesnt work as expected. Can anyone suggest how to pass filepath as a variable in the URL ? Here is what all i tried to someohow transfer $filename from url to perl code. 
     http://apmqa.dcc.com/cgi-bin/test/editor.pl?filename=\\\\sfoaepmd
+ata.dcc.com\\folder\\data.txt
    http://apmqa.dcc.com/cgi-bin/test/editor.pl?filename=\\sfoaepmdata
+.dcc.com\folder\data.txt 
    http://apmqa.dcc.com/cgi-bin/test/editor.pl?filename=//sfoaepmdata
+.dcc.com/folder/data.txt

The above data may seem confusing. But please only read values after ?filename. Can anyone pls suggest. I also tried passing other normal paramters and it worked. for e.g. $account=GEL; the filepath doesnt work.
