Teddy,
Try:
if (-e "/usr/www/domain/file.txt"){
print "file.txt exists\n";
}
A few others are -f to check if it is an ordinary file, -d to find if it exists and is
a
directory, -l to find if it exists and is a symlink, -T to find if it exists and is a
plain text
file. There are about 20 others. Look up "file test operators" some time.
Regards,
David

Subject: Verifying the existence of a file
Hi all,
I want to verify if a file exists using the head method of LWP::Simple.
I don't know why, but some servers don't allow using this method and I think
I need using the get method instead.
Do you know if using the get method for a file means in fact reading all the
file?
I want to check if a file exists but I don't want my script to lose the time
reading all the file because some files (archives, etc) might be very big.
Can you give me a hint what module/method should I use?
Thanks.
