I tried putting the path in single quotes and it worked as I expected in windows machine.(removed the ip address of the local machine in that case.), still didnt work.

Thanks for your reply

    Did you double-up on the backslashes? The single quotes prevents $\ from interpolating, but '\\' still converts to '\':

    Roboticus@Roboticus-PC ~ $ cat interp.pl #!/usr/bin/perl print '\\10.64.30.27\C$\Users\hari9', "\n"; print '\\\\10.64.30.27\\C$\\Users\\hari9', "\n"; Roboticus@Roboticus-PC ~ $ perl interp.pl \10.64.30.27\C$\Users\hari9 \\10.64.30.27\C$\Users\hari9
