File Testing

[SlykFX]

I cant seem to find any info about file testing anywhere

what i want is to test if a file exists, if so do one thing if not do something else.

what i have so far is an if statement however i dont know what it should be testing for

also if u know of any good resource/reference/information sites the URL would be much appreciated

thanks for any help in advance I can't be bothered to have a sig!

I think this is what you are looking for.

if (-e /path/to/file){ ...do somthine...}

OR

#otherfunction(); will be called if file cannot be opened.

open (DB, ">$dir/$DB_file[0].txt&quot or otherfunction();
while (my($k,$v) = each %$params) {
print BD "$k=$v&";
}
close (DB);
