I think your problem is the interpolation and non-interpolation with double versus single quotes. You don't need to escape your backslashes and dollar sign in your %typehash as you're using single quotes.
This worked (printed the right path) for me:
#!C:\perl\bin\perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my %typehash = (
'tomcat' => '\d$\logs\tomcat',
'tomcatweb' => '\d$\logs\web',
'apache' => '\d$\logs\Apache'
);
sub getLog {
my ($a,$type)=@_;
my $server=$a;
my $dir = "\\\\$server".$typehash{$type};
print "\n $dir ";
chomp(my $meh = `dir /b /O:D $dir`);
print $meh;
}
&getLog("test.control.com",'tomcat');
And executed:
{Z} \\vmware-host\Shared Folders > perl script.pl
\\test.control.com\d$\logs\tomcat The network path was not found.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
