<p>I think your problem is the interpolation and non-interpolation with double versus single quotes. You don't need to escape your backslashes and dollar sign in your %typehash as you're using single quotes.</p>
<p>This worked (printed the right path) for me:</p>
<c>
#!C:\perl\bin\perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my %typehash = (
'tomcat' => '\d$\logs\tomcat',
'tomcatweb' => '\d$\logs\web',
'apache' => '\d$\logs\Apache'
);
sub getLog {
my ($a,$type)=@_;
my $server=$a;
my $dir = "\\\\$server".$typehash{$type};
print "\n $dir ";
chomp(my $meh = `dir /b /O:D $dir`);
print $meh;
}
&getLog("test.control.com",'tomcat');
</c>
<p>And executed:</p>
<c>
{Z} \\vmware-host\Shared Folders > perl script.pl
\\test.control.com\d$\logs\tomcat The network path was not found.
</c>
