[Bullock, Howard A.] 
Use a "\" to precede the $ and *. Also use a back tick not a single quote.
Double check your NET USE syntax.
`net use \* \\\\pipsqueak\\c\$ \* /user:domain\\user` || warn "cannot CD to
WebServer: $!";  
The above syntax pauses but does not prompt for a password. You type one in
and the drive is connected.

You can also place the password after the share in place of the asterisk.
Any special characters will have to be preceded by a backslash.
