in thread Unavailable network drives in CGI scripts

This is running under IIS 5.1. I added two more lines: 
print `whoami`;
print $ENV{USERNAME};

[download]
'whoami' returned my username (not a web account), but the USERNAME environment variable was empty.

    Try adding something like this:

    if(-d 'w:\'){
 print "w:\\ is a directory\n";
 if(-R 'w:\'){
   print "w:\\ is readable\n";
 }else{
   print "w:\\ is not readbable\n";
 }
}else{
 print "w:\\ is not a directory\n";
}

      I tried it with 'w:', 'w:\' and 'w:/'. In all three cases, it says it's not a directory.

        Are you quite sure that windows agrees that the drive designator is a directory?
