Did you chdir to the directory? Otherwise your script might be checking the
wrong directory.
opendir(DIR,"/mydir");
@array = readdir(DIR);
chdir "/mydir";
foreach $dup (@array){
(-d $dup) ? print "yes: $dup \n": print "no: $dup \n";
}

Subject: file test doesn't seem to be working
i am sending @array a directory (i.e. example /usr/dw5) which contains a
lot of files and folders (directories).
(i have already checked the value of @array and $dup and they are as
desired.) What i want to accomplish is: print yes, "$dup (file name)" if
it's a directory (folder) i am testing it on a directory which is
composed of 90% folders. The example below will only print yes for .
and .. and "no" for everything else. I have tried it with other file
test's (i.e. -f, -A, -e, etc,...) none of them work as desired,... maybe
i can't use the ternary operator like this? (damn waste if not) thanks.
foreach $dup (@array){
(-d $dup) ? print "yes: $dup \n": print "no: $dup \n";
)
