The script is not intended to run on an internet(server) environment. It is supposed to run as a stand-alone script from one of the machines (trusted) in the domain. All that I was hoping for, is a way to check whether I am able to read a directory and if so calculate the sizes of the directories beneath it and if for some reason,I am not able to read a directory; then just output the error message -- to the output file and not to STDOUT.
I will try out Nikola's suggestion of swapping the STDERR handles. I was just wondering if there is a straight-forward method in Perl for Win32 systems to see, if I have "access" (at least READ) to a particular directory protected by NTFS.
