| How do I create a handle to a remote file, like \\IP\c\file.txt?
(Without mapping a network drive)
Can I use opendir on a remote folder?

| The opendir and other file access functions seem to pass the request
through the OS and let it deal with it.
I have used perl to read remote files and directories with no problems.
As long as the security account that you are running the perl script as
has access to the requested resource then you should have no problems
#read directory list of *.log files
opendir(DIR, "$dir");
@files = grep(/\.log$/,readdir(DIR));
closedir(DIR);
works for remote and local directories
Cheers

| Thanks.
How do I create the connection to the file? will this work:
open LOG1, $files[0];

| As long as $files[0] contains the filename and full path (remote or
local)
Then use <LOG1> the read from the file
