Example Name Result 
-e $a   Exists    True if file named in $a exists 
-r $a   Readable  True if file named in $a is readable 
-w $a   Writable  True if file named in $a is writable 
-d $a   Directory True if file named in $a is a directory 
-f $a   File      True if file named in $a is a regular file 
-T $a   Text File True if file named in $a is a text file 

so:
if (-d $filename) {
        print "'$filename$ is a directory\n";
}

Subject: Checking for a directory


Hi All,
