We are switching from one server to another for our PERL Scripts, and so far everything is working, but I am having problems with on program which works on the old server but not the new one. The problem I have is creating a file in a directory on another server. I use "\\\\gailbapps\\cybraryn\\TDmenu\\A-Cyb_Stats\\" as my path to the serever, and to create it, I use open (TOT_TXT, '>{servername and filename}'). But when I try to write print TOT_TXT "Hello\n";, it does not work. Can anyone help? I print out the path and put it in Windows Explorer and it goes right there, so I do not know why it cannot be accessed. The code is below: 
$relative_addy = "\\\\gailbapps\\cybraryn\\TDmenu\\A-Cyb_Stats\\";

$month_year = $date_month . "_" . $date_year . ".txt";

$tot_file = $relative_addy . $month_year;

open (TOT_TXT, '>$tot_file') || die "$tot_file open failed: $!";

print "File: $tot_file<p>";

print TOT_TXT "Hello\n";

close(TOT_TXT);

I am not sure if this is a PERL problem, but if I am not doing a correct pat, I would like to know.
