Can anyone please tell me why I get this inconsistent behaviour and how to overcome it?

It is not inconsistent, you are using file names without the proper path. If a file or directory exists in the current directory with the same name as one in /usr you will get a result, otherwise there is no file, so you are told false for both. You can fix your code by either prefixing the file name with the directory or doing chdir() into $testdir. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
