the -e means you can enter one or more lines of script. If -e is used then
Perl will not look for a script filename.

Subject: a little offtopic
OK, I know this is off-topic, but it's a bit of a pain to go log onto
other lists and stuff for a question I only have to deal with once, so
please bear with me.. Does anyone out there know perl and know what this
line of code means?
if (-e $datafile) {} else { open (DATA, "<<$datafile") ||
ShowErrMessage("Blah"); }
I have a ecommerce program that I'm having problems with and we've
narrowed the problem down to this line. I don't really understand what
the -e is or the open statement... Thanks to anyone that knows and once
again, sorry for the off-topic question.
-Daniel
