I am a newbie to Perl and need some urgent help.

I am trying to get a list of files stored on a network server. I am
using ActivePerl & WinNT4.

I am trying to change to the folder, either with UNC or via the shared
drive letter(with chdir) but with no luck.

The weird thing is that the code below works fine from the command
line, but as soon as I use it through a browser (IE 5.5 & NN 4.7) it
mis-behaves.

When run through a browser it produces a list of files in the current
working folder on my C: drive and not the remote folder.

What am I doing wrong ?

Sample Code:
$name = "V:/somefolder/";
chdir("V:/somefolder");

opendir(DIR, $name)
    or die "Can't open $name due to $!";

$entry = readdir(DIR);

while ( defined($entry) ) {

    print "$entry\n";

    # Get next entry.
    $entry = readdir(DIR);

Thanks in Advance

So the real problem is the remote server rejecting the connection
not perl...

That makes sense.....

I know this probably isnt the NG to post this but maybe you can help me....

How do I change my web server's ID to access the remote folder ?

if not, which NG should I post this to ?

Many thanks
