Re: Using Win32::FileOp to Map a Drive by Variable

The literal word 'shift' is not a valid IP address. Do you really have single quotes around the word? Checking the value of your variables is the first step to debugging (e.g. printing the value of $share would've told you the problem).

Yup, you're right, I looked at the code 50 times before posting, because I hate when I miss stupid things like this, and I missed it. I also agree I should have printed out "$share". Thanks for the (hard) lesson learned.	[reply]

Hint: use a syntax-hilighting editor. It will help make things like this more obvious. As to which one to use - that's the subject of many a religious war, so I won't go there. There are many available, and which ones are "best" will be solely determined by the way you work. Since switching to a syntax-hilighting editor, I've never gone back.	[reply]
