Hello Monks, I am currently running a script where I want to store the result files onto a shared drive. for the time being since i am the only one whose running the script. I am mapping the network drive on my computer as H: and storing the files. But what if someone else wants to run the script from the shared drive. for eg..if the network drive(shared drive) name is \\wonderland\\alice how to i write it in Perl. currently what i am doing is $filepath = 'H:\\alice\\'; Can i do something so that i dont need to map it and directly use the shared drive name. is there a way i can directly assign a variable as direct path i tried $filepath='\\wonderland\\alice\\' but it doesnt work. pl help me.I have been stuck here since a couple of weeks..its urgent Thanks in advance Ashes.cfg
