Dear All,
I have a problem on using CGI to check the file existence in a
directory. Here is my code
$workDir = "/usr/local/home/tkcheung/systemadmin/singlesar/Report";
$path = "tulisar030108.rpt";
$notAvailabe = 0;
$a = qq`$workDir/$path`;
if (! -e $a){ $notAvailable = 1;}
return $notAvailable;
The file does exist, but the code always return 1;
I do try to install the module Test::File (but failed) and using open
file to test the file existence ( it works)
I would ike to know how to use the "-e" to check it.
Regards,
Alex
