Hello,
I had a .sh script that called Microsoft's "net use" command to mount drives under
Win2k, and this worked:
net use 't:' '\\myserver\share'
However I needed to do this in Cygwin Perl so I could leverage an existing set of Perl
libraries I have.
For the life of me I could correctly execute the "net use" command from Perl, because
the characters would get escaped or not interpreted correctly.
The Perl workaround a coworker devised was:
my $cmd = "net use 't:' '\\";
$cmd .= "\\storigen1u21\\sfstest'";
print $cmd;
system $cmd;
and this DOES work. This would be the end of story, except we want to understand what
caused the problem in the first place. I suspect it was the brain dead Microsoft
command processor getting involved with this system call.
Anyone care to elaborate? Thanks,
Scott
