The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Perl, ant, Can't opendir(<pathtodir>) : Invalid Argument

Iam trying to execute a perl script from an ant xml , which would open the directory in the remote location and extract some files. However Iam able to execute the saem script from command line .

The command line works fine as
C:\>perl C:\ICE\scripts\htmlpagesunzip\search_properties.pl \\sjc-filer01.corp.ebay.com\eb_dcpc\v4html_pages C:\ICE\temp\instance1/v4html

Iam using perl version 5.8.4 from Active Site and I have confirmed that .pl is one if the allowed extensions defined in the IIS Server configurations
C:\Perl\bin\Perl.exe %s %s

             The ant xml snippet
 <exec executable="perl" failonerror="true" timeout="800000">
		   <arg line="${global.script.dir}\htmlpagesunzip\search_properties.pl \\sjc-filer01.corp.ebay.com\eb_dcpc\v4html_pages ${global.temp.dir}\v4html"/>
		</exec>
 
I get error as 
[exec] Can't opendir(\\sjc-filer01.corp.ebay.com\eb_dcpc\v4html_pages): Invalid argument
     [exec]  at C:\ICE\scripts\htmlpagesunzip\search_properties.pl line 12
 
The perl script contents for search_properties.pl
 
#ICE/config/scripts/htmlpagesunzip
# This file is used to create a back up of all the build.properties files.
 use strict;
 use warnings;
 use File::Find;
 use File::Copy;
 # change these assignments as needed
 my ($srcdir,$destdir);
 
 $srcdir = $ARGV[0];
 $destdir = $ARGV[1];
 finddepth(\&wanted,$srcdir);
 
 sub wanted {
 return if -d;
 if($File::Find::name =~ /^.+build.properties$/) {
 my $file = $File::Find::name ;
 #get the subfolder containing the file
 my $subdir=$1 if($file=~/\/([^\/]+)\/[^\/]+\.properties$/);
 my $dest = $destdir.$subdir;
 mkdir($dest) unless(-e $dest); # create the folder-structure
 copy($file, "$dest") or warn "$!";
  }
 
}
