Re: write/read to remote machine

Hmmm ... interpolation and backslashes are giving you a different directory than you're wanting. Use forward slashes instead of backslashes, use single quotes, or double your backslashes. Also, $\ is a special variable, so using single quotes would prevent that from interpolating.

I tried putting the path in single quotes and it worked as I expected in windows machine.(removed the ip address of the local machine in that case.), still didnt work.

Thanks for your reply

Did you double-up on the backslashes? The single quotes prevents $\ from interpolating, but '\\' still converts to '\':

$ cat interp.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
print '\\10.64.30.27\C$\Users\hari9', "\n";
print '\\\\10.64.30.27\\C$\\Users\\hari9', "\n";

Roboticus@Roboticus-PC ~
$ perl interp.pl
\10.64.30.27\C$\Users\hari9
\\10.64.30.27\C$\Users\hari9
