Hi there,

I want to determine, what's the reason of "File does not exist" response,
using the -e operator (if (!(-e $filename)) {...}

The reason might be (for example):
* file is really not available
* the user does not have sufficient rights to access the file ("Access
denied")...

How do I get more info about failing -e operator (especially "Access
denied") on Win32 systems?

If you get an "File does not exist", you don't have permission to access it. Sometimes I can see files in Windows Explorer, but when I double click them I get the error message "File does not exist". When I check the permissions as Administrator, I can see that I do not have permission to access (read/write/etc) the files, but I have the right to list the directory, that's why I see the files.

If that is what you faced, there is AFAIK no way to enumerate the file
access rights other than w/ Administrator priviledges...


Greetings
