Thanks
Here's what Im trying to do
my @arr=`dir $path /b`;
The script runs smoothly from the path c:\....apache\cgi-bin from the command prompt.
When the script is called from a web page, it gives an error.THe cgi looks like:
#!c:\perl\bin\perl
use strict;
use CGI qw(:standard);

my $labelpath="\\\\<some computer name or ip address>\\<a shared folde
+r (permissions - all)>";
my @arr=`dir $labelpath /b`;

print header;
print start_html('Thank you');
print <<EOF;

<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body text="#rrggbb" bgcolor="#D7DFEE">
</body>
Hello
$arr[0] <br> $arr[1]...etc.

EOF
print end_html;
