How about:
#########################
use strict;
use warnings;
open(INFILE,"the_file") || die "Could not open \"the_file\" for reading!\n";
#...do something with the file

Subject: Terminating script if file does not exist
Basically the script runs and looks for a file in a certain directory. If
the file is there, the script continues to run and process the file, but
if the file is not there the script should just exit.
Any ideas on how to do this?
