Re: -e file test won't follow symlinks?by sedusedan (Monk) |

-e follows symlinks, because it does a stat(), not an lstat(). If the symlink target does not exist or is inaccessible, -e will report false even though the symlink itself exists. If that is not what you want, you might want to try file_exists() in SHARYANTO::File::Util. Or you can implement the logic itself, by using -l instead of -e.
