What went wrong?? Hope this helps... (Original error was $! but that did no good because I didn't get what directory couldn't be opened.) "Reason: No such file or directory"

As far as permissions, I have quadruple checked them. I can get the directory from desktop, but when running a perl script as the logged in user, the directory cannot be found. This also works from my workstation logged in as the same user.

15:48 1-17-2003 >>      Cannot open dir: \\RICH0417\d$\wirein. Reason:
+ No such file or directory 
15:48 1-17-2003 >>      Cannot open dir: \\RICH0418\d$\wirein. Reason:
+ No such file or directory

The system() call was tried, but was just to see if there was a possible workaround. I cannot believe that I would need to load a module to get a daggone directory listing.
