I have successfully checked a file in the same dir , my question is do I have to chdir when doing a if (-e filename.dat) and then change back to the cgi-bin dir?
www.mysite.com/cgi-bin is where my perl files are. www.mysite.com/html is where the file I want to check is. chdir "/html"; if (-e filename.html) {print qq|File Found|; } else {print qq|File NOT found|;} chdir"/cgi-bin"; I tried looking for files in other dirs using if (-e .../html) etc.. but with no success. do I make sence?
