I do not see that problem as long as 'I' (read user) have permission.  You
can always use the CACLS Windows system command to change permissions, but
there is usually a good reason not to. Is the perl script running on a
server?  Does the server have permission to be in the folder?

Subject: File::Find on Win32 -- Directory Permissions Denied


I am trying to use File::Find module on Win NT 4.0 with Activestate Perl
to
find the directory sizes on a network share drive. If the individual
directories are protected by Windows NTFS permissions, the File::Find
module
throws a warning message on STDOUT saying "Can't opendir(Z:/blahblah):
Invalid Argument". I have two questions here.

a) I am using formats and would like to output this information to a
format
handle rather than the default STDOUT. IS there a way to do it via
File::Find?

b) How would I detect those directories which cannot be opened in a
Win32
OS? (-r, -R etc did not work for me).

Am I missing an obvious thing, here?

Thanks,
Rex
