[Israel.pm] access network directories using cgi on a windows(win32) network

[roi sh]

answers to Omer Queshtions:
1. yes, there is a security issue. entering a server in the nettwork 
requires entering user name and
   paswword. how can i set the user name and password on the perl script 
(inside the network) ?
   meaning, the cgi form set gets to a perl script inside the network. i 
would like to set the env
  parameters on the perlscript to enable access to the direcories (it does 
work if i run the perl script
  from inside the network).
  How can i do that ?.

2. The error returned is: Can't open dir: \\[server name]\c$\[folder name] 
;... No such file or
   directory.
   note that the directory was opened when the Perl script was excecuted 
from inside the network.

please advise.

Thanks.

Roi.
