been frying my brain what was wrong with my code as it always fail when it parse the content of the file using tie::file. so i did subset of my code as below & as you can see, simple file test has no error but when i parse the file using tie::file, it throws an issue. please have a look & let me know if i missed anything critical here. 

use strict; 
use warnings; 
use Tie::File;

my $dir = "//folderA/folderB/folderC";
my $file = "//folderA/folderB/folderC/folderD/file.txt";

if (-d -e -r $dir){
print "Folder exists and readable.\n";}

if (-f -e $file){
print "File exists and accessible.\n";}

tie my @content, 'Tie::File', $file or die "Cannot open $file for read
+ing.";


Folder exists and accessible.
File exists and accessible.
Cannot open //folderA/folderB/folderC/folderD/file.txt for reading. at

st.pl line 14.
