Hello all! Just wanted to say thanks in advanced for your help... What I'm trying to do is create a perl script that will do the following....I think the code is correct below, but need further help. Desire result when running the script:
  1. move all logs older than 7 days from a share on a remote server ( \\Testserver01\WeblogicLogs) to a folder that the script will create based on local time and date,
  2. in the process of moving the logs, it will automatically zip it up (with winzip), and name it based on local date and time. I still haven't figured out how to do this with winzip command line option.
  3. Accomplished all this remotely via UNC. Do I have to use the win32::Lanman module for this to work?
Please look at the code below and help me with step 1,2,3. thanks again!
