Re: problem with mounted share (MS Windows)

Just a wild guess: Are you using UNC pathes for $dirname? If yes, does it work if you use drive letters instead?

Your guess was right: the paths are UNC. Unfortunately drive letters are not an option. Do you have any suggestions? Just to be clear, the path looks like: //machine123/myshare$/report/data/01/	[reply]

Unfortunately drive letters are not an option. Just to make sure that it is really the UNC path which causes griefs: Could you at least try in a test run to use drive letters instead, so that you can confirm the cause? I don't know what Tk is doing internally so that your call fails. UNC pathes are OK in most cases, but here are two exceptions I know, which don't work with UNC pathes: If you use the Cygwin version of Perl, or if you set on the command line the "default drive" to a UNC path (which doesn't seem to apply in your case). But of course there might be other issues I'm not aware of. -- Ronald Fischer <ynnor@mm.st>	[reply]
