Re^2: perl and unc paths

[Anonymous Monk]

Except 'chdir \\\\comp1\\newfolder doesnt work!'

I can't find it in perlwin32*, but I'm having in mind it's a problem in the underlying system. An internet search for "chdir unc" explicitly excluding "perl" finds enough similiar items to support this.

On Windows that is... pushd and popd would work, except you can't do system("pushd \\\\unc_path1\\folder") because it spawns a new shell and then exits with system()
