Re: How to get a file listing

Depending on your server setup, you may or may not be able to read 
\mydir2\.  Whether on windows or a unix variant, apache is configured to 
run as "some user" (often, "nobody" on unix); and that user needs to be 
given at least read access to the \mydir2\ directory in order for this 
to work.

Alan young's snippet he gave you: 

   opendir my $DH, '\mydir2\' or die "Unable to open mydir2: $!";

should quickly tell you if you don't have read permission on \mydir2.
