I see. Well I would not call this good practice. You simply have to
quote the string literal.
Or construct it via concatenation:
if(-d ($dir . "/test")) {
I would use the first form. Anyway my point was that you should not
quote a simple variable:
if (-d "$dir") { ...
Unless you really really know why.
