Accessing Network Resources When Logged Off - IIS
Hello Monks,
I am trying to keep a menu across servers. It's an include file and I need a way to access it like a mapped drive when the server is logged off. Is there any modules that perform this, and/or what direction should I go? It's a 2000 server trying to access a file on a 2003 server, also running IIS. I've tried.

Your logic above is broken; if any attempt succeeds, you undo it by trying another method. If you don't care about trying a lot of possibly broken path alternatives, you could do this:
open(MENU, $bestpath ) or open(MENU, $nextbest ) or open(MENU, $worseway ) or open(MENU, $fallback ) or die "No way to reach it!"; do_stuff_with MENU; close(MENU) or die "Scary failure trying to close it!";If you're just asking what the right syntax would be for a UNC path, it's \\netbioshost\sharename\path\to\file.ext.

Those were just the different combinations I tried. I didn't use them all at the same time. Sorry for the confusion.
Update: Thanks halley the UNC path did the trick.
