    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?

      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

        If you open a command line window, are you able to access this drive? Maybe do a 'dir' command? If you can, then Perl can do also. If you can't do that, then it is unlikely that Perl can do it.

        The net use method works fine for me. Sounds like a problem unrelated to Perl.

        So its the problem exists outside of perl?
