Is it possible to glob a UNC path? If not, is there another way to get a list of files from a UNC folder so I can run stats on each file?

Below is code that can read a folders file list if I sepcify a drive letter. When I share the folder and use the UNC name I can't read the folders contents.

Thanks in advance.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my $path = 'C:\\junk\\*';
my @angle_files1 = < $path >;
my @glob_files1 = glob $path;

my $unc = '\\\\machine_name\\junk\\*';
my @angle_files2 = < $unc >;
my @glob_files2 = glob $unc;


print Dumper $path, @angle_files1, @glob_files1;
print Dumper $unc, @angle_files2, @glob_files2;

print "\n\nDone\n";
