Re: CD-rom read

Can we read data in a cd-rom through perl over a network ?

Sure, if you can use "dir" on it from a shell, you can use open/opendir. If "dir" won't work, you'll need something that speaks the same protocol.

I tried to read it but it failed but when i tried to read other fixed hard drives than it succeded. Anyone knows y?

What error message did you get? It usually explains why.

Dir didnt work over the network but it worked fine on my local cd rom drive.	[reply]

Maybe the remote CD ROM isn't shared on the network. Are you able to access it over the network using your fingers and keyboard? Dave	[reply]

All the computers are connected as we are in the same domain and the cdrom resides in one of the system and i am acessing that system using net use for connection establishment. The connection is established but some how the cd rom drive is not treated as other disk drives which are acssible	[reply]
