Hello Monks,

Once again I seek your wise wisdom. I am trying to include a file across multiple web servers and I am having a terrible time with it. I first tried a simple open statement. 
open(MENU, "\\\\servername\\sharename\\path\\tofile.inc") or die "Cann
+ot open: $!";
while (<MENU>) {print}
close MENU;

And regardless of the permissions I put on the 2003 box it tells me permission denied.

And then I tried a LWP::Simple script: 
#! C:/perl/bin/perl.exe -w

use strict;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use LWP::Simple;

my $webpage = get("http://servername/global/admin_menu.inc");
die "Couldn't get it: $!" unless defined $webpage;

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print $webpage;

[download]
It gives me "Bad file descriptor"

Any way to send the permissions of the web browser to the other server? Either LWP::Simple or an open solution would work. Please point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.

Update: fixed typo.
