Hi Alex
It seems you have a typing error, see in-line. However I don't see how this
would cause your problem. I would make sure you have entered your path and
file name correctly. (How about copying and pasting directly from a
directory listing?)
Apart from that, how about writing your code as:
$workDir = "/usr/local/home/tkcheung/systemadmin/singlesar/Report";
$path = "tulisar030108.rpt";
return ! -e "$workDir/$path";
HTH,
Rob

Appears below as $notAvailable.
