I know there's already a node that addresses this (globbing on remote network paths) However the proposed solutions don't seem to work for me. 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use File::Glob qw(bsd_glob);

my @dirlist = glob('\\\\servername\\path\\to\\docs\\with space in the 
+path\\for the directory\\*');

foreach my $dir (@dirlist) {

  print $dir . "\n";

}

Output:

(note the last word doesn't appear in the output, if that matters at all)

I'm writing and running the script on a Linux box, the remote box is a Win box.

I've also tried as many combinations of \\ or \ or / or // just in case that was the problem, but it doesn't seem to help.

What could be the problem?

Thanks in advance
