The -d will test if your "file" is a directory. It took me way too long to learn how to use the very good information that comes with perl itself. Don't do the same; you'll learn much more quickly, plus your boss will never know that you didn't know how to use a certain function ;)
perldoc -f -d will tell you about filetest operators. perldoc -f followed by any perl function will tell you about that function. A great place to start is by doing this: perldoc perl, which will guide you through the TONS of perldocs on your computer. perldoc -q, followed by a keyword will search the FAQ for that keyword. Good luck and have fun! Perl gets better and better as you learn.
