checking for true/false after a command has run

[Stephanie Stiavetti]

thank you all for your help with regexp... you folks are awesome.

another question.  I'm writing a script where I need to append a file, and
I'd like it to do one thing if the command is successful, and another if it
fails.  how do I check to make sure it successfully appended the file?

here's my code:


open (REZFILE, "$>>rezFile") or die "ew!  can't open $rezFile! $!\n";
        
        foreach (@allParams) {
                print "$_\t";
        }
        print "\n\n";
        
        close (REZFILE);
        
                if  (##APPEND TO FILE WAS SUCCESSFUL##)  {
        
        # print confirmation page... happy happy joy joy        

                }

else            {

        # print error

}



thank you in advance for your help  :)
