The following code works `use Path::Tiny; my $dir = '//192.168.1.44/somedir'; my @files = path( $dir )->children( qr/\.txt\z/ ); #Excludes "." and " +.." automatically. my @myDirectories = path( $dir )->children; for my $dirName ( @myDirectories ){ print "$dirName\n"; }` [download] However if I change the $dir as follows it does not work (I am aware technically //192.168.1.44 is not a directory but a share) `use Path::Tiny; my $dir = '//192.168.1.44'; # traverse root my @files = path( $dir )->children( qr/\.txt\z/ ); #Excludes "." and " +.." automatically. my @myDirectories = path( $dir )->children; for my $dirName ( @myDirectories ){ print "$dirName\n"; }` [download] I get the following error when running the above code `Error opendir on '//192.168.1.44': Invalid argument at dir.pl line 44.` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`\\server\share` is the root of the volume. You can't list the contents of the directory `\\server` because `\\server` isn't a directory. This has nothing to do with Perl. `>dir /b \\127.0.0.1 The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. >dir /b \\127.0.0.1\SomeShare a.txt b.txt` [download] This might be useful.

Hi, try adding a trailing slash? The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply]

Tried trailing slash but no luck. Any other suggestions?	[reply]
