Test for the existence of a file 1

[columb]

I know that perl has the equivalent of ksh
[[ -f filename]]
constuct but I cant find the documentation. I've searched

http://www.perldoc.com

but I'm not even sure how to phrase the question. Can someone point me in the right direction please. A web address would be better than an answer to the specific question - then I won't bother you next time I need something similar

Thanks

Living with a seeker after the truth is infinitely preferable to living with one who thinks they've found it.

try man perlfunc, there is a list of the various test operators there.
