Hi Experts,

I have written small Perl program to read and update network file. Its working fine in we run by command prompt.
But if we invoke by External program program dies without any error.

I have not used any Module to read file. its running on windows environment file path will be like \\\\xxxx\\f$\\....
i have tried forward slash and escaping $ but nothing works. Can you please help me?

@wslfiles[0]='\\\\XXXXXXX\\f\$\\apps\\webapps\\auth.wsl';
my @wsl = @{$_[0]};
foreach $filename(@wsl)
    {
    open(FIN, $filename)  or die "Could not open file '$filename' $!";
    while (my $row = <FIN>) 
....
}

Thanks
