Actually, on Perl on Windows handles paths with forward slashes correctly.
In fact, so does the Win32 API: it's only some of the user-level programs
that hide that. Assuming everything is running on C:, there shouldn't even
need to be a drive specified.
Try
require 'c:/collect/run/lib/perl/header.pl';
and if that doesn't work, check that the user Apache is running as has read
permissions to that file.
Also make sure that file actually does exist on that path. Don't take that
as an insult to your intelligence: it can happen to anyone, and I do speak
with experience. :) That path you're specifying is from the root of your
drive, not from the DocumentRoot.
I don't think this error message is the one you get for a script that
doesn't "return true", but make sure there's a line of "1;" at the end of
that included file.

Possibly. Unless you're using mod_perl, the working directory is set to the
directory of a script before it's executed. What I'd suggest is mapping
//server/vol/ndsuser to a drive letter (say, o:). Then make DocumentRoot
o:/Web/html and the absolute paths in your scripts should work.

Any way to handle it without modifing any script? maybe set the working
directory to n: instead of c: ?
Thanks

I don't think Apache's Alias directive is visible to Perl scripts. Why not
write a Perl script (or something involving sed) to replace
'/collect/run/lib/perl/' with '//server/vol/ndsuser/Collect/run/lib/perl/'?
That might not be ideal, but at least it should work. I guess the best
solution would really be to make the scripts use relative paths, but that
might be more work than you need to do.

There are hundreds of files with this line without a specified drive. also
the drive would be n: , because this is a network drive.
apache is running as a user with rights to the files.

this is a good idea, but how can I handle it? apache is installed on c: . I
specified my DocumentRoot
via unc-path like this (it is also drive n:) :
DocumentRoot //server/vol//ndsuser/Web/html/
Alias /Collect //server/vol//ndsuser/Collect
<Directory //server/vol//ndsuser/Collect>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
c:/collect/run/lib/perl/header.pl does not exit
any idea?
TIA
Mathias
