Hi Monks!
I have a CGI Program, which gets some data from a form, and does some kind of manipulation etc.
What i want to do is list out the contents of a directory from my cgi program.
The problem is that the directory is a network path (eg. \\<computer name>\\myfolder. Using File::Find, im able to do it from a simple perl program, but it doesn't work while i put it in a cgi. Also a `dir $directory > somefile.txt ` does not produce the output to the text file.
The whole operation is done in Windows (win32).
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
