Hello,

I understand that when you access to a file with perl under RISC-OS,
the filenames are unixified (/ replacing .). My problem is that i
want to get access to a files on a LanMan98 shared disc on another
machine. What is the syntax to be used when the host machine is
"PCCrap", the disc shared is called "Common" and the files i'm trying to
reach are in a directory called "mp3" ?

Doesn't LanMan98 use the standard RISC OS syntax for pathnames?

IMHO, the problem isn't related to Perl (or UnixLib).

Yes, so using /LanMan98::Common/$/mp3/foo.mp3 should do the trick.
Specifying it as a normal RISC OS filename may also work, depending on
the script.
