    FileExists?

    Is there a way to tell if a file exists in Perl?
    My evil laugh has a squeak in it.

    I've never done this, so don't quote me. I always just try to open the file, and if that fails, then maybe the file didn't exist.

    But...

    Code:
    if (-e $fileName) {
  &mojo
}
    'Course, that might not be implimented in ActivePerl. *shrug*

    You can try www.perlmonks.org if you don't have a Camel (or Llama) around.

    As always, RTFM.

    Code:
    #make sure there's not a file by that name already there
	push @errors, "File already exists: " . $form{'filename'} if (-e "files/$form{'filename'}");
    works fine for me with ActivePerl.
