print "$file_name is a 'soft' link.\n" if -l $file_name;

Or with perl:
symlink OLDFILE,NEWFILE
Creates a new filename symbolically linked to the old
filename.
Returns `1' for success, `0' otherwise. On systems that
don't
support symbolic links, produces a fatal error at run time.
perldoc -f readlink
perldoc -f -l
perldoc -f symlink
perldoc -f link
perldoc -f stat
perldoc -f lstat
