I was using server loosely. The machine it is running from has to be logged on as something, right, (like our servers would have a logon similar to "productionMachine" or whatever). The first step I would take is to check this, it shouldn't require a work around. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 4:46 PM To: McCollum, Frank; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: File::Find on Win32 -- Directory Permissions Denied
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.
