Author Local Drives from IIS Applications

Can anyone shed any light on accessing local workstation drives from IIS applications? I have a PERL application running under IIS on Win2000 Server which has no problem seeing all drives on the server but cannot see any workstation drives.

All suggestions gratefully received!

Applications running on the server can't access the client? How
strange...

The app has to run on the client. How else will it see the client's
local drives? (Assuming you didn't share the local drive for the
server app to see of course...)

It's not an IIS issue, follow up with questions in a PERL group or
client technology group.
