I'm getting some mixed messages here, Anish. at first, it appears that you are running this perl script using the executable in /usr/bin/perl which clearly indicates UN*X or a derivative thereof (since there is no real 'root' directory in the family of quality Microsoft products). Then, I see that you are using the standard WinSMB method of snatching a share from a host computer aptly named "sharedDrive". Other than closing your quotes, you might want to double-czech which OS you're running. Under UN*X, your '//' will never do what you want it to do. Perhaps if you supply more information or if you read up on the topic at hand, like open(), then you'll manage to fix the problem yourself.
