I want to open read a ini file on network from a linux/unix machine. My ini file could be on unix/linux/windows machine. I am not able to read file using the network path. Kindly let me know the way to read file. 
use Config::IniFiles;
 my $INI_FILE_PATH = "//machine_ip/folder in which file is present/tes
+t.ini";

 if (!(-e "$INI_FILE_PATH" ))
 {
   print STDERR "Error:File not present";
 }
 my $cfgObject = new Config::IniFiles( -file => $INI_FILE_PATH );
my $configSpecPath = $cfgObject->val('SECTION", "PARAMETER");

On executing the code it is giving me error saying that "Error:File not present" Please let me know what am I doing wrong here. Thanks, Rapunzel
