I have a script that is checking web links and works on my local NT workstation. But I now need the NT web server's path so I can check web pages on the web server.

How can I get the web server path?
If my server is called "webserver" and I can put "webserver/mypage.html" in my browser url location entry and it brings up the page then I should be able to use:
"/webserver/mypage.html" as my path name in my script? But it says it cant find the directory and file.
Please advise a way I can find out my server's absolute path so I can use it in my script?? I really just need advice on finding the specific web server absolute path so I can use it in my script. Not looking for any script assistance. Also I do have the web server's IP address if that is something I can use? Here is how it works so far fetching local files: 
my $start_dir = '/inetpub/wwwroot/expo/cony.html';

Now my attempt on checking a web page on my NT server: 
my $start_dir = '/webserver/mypage.html';
