I have a file f and a symlink sl2f to this file. ls -l shows the following: lrwxrwxrwx 1 mn users 1 Dec 15 16:22 sl2f -> f -rw-r--r-- 1 mn users 0 Dec 15 16:23 f
when I do from perl @f = stat "f"; @sl2f = stat "sl2f"; I always get the same contents in @sl2f as in @f, i.e stat follows the link. Thus I cannot decide via stat, whether the file in question is a symlink or a not. Does anybody know how to retrieve this information without starting a separate programm?
