Re^4: question regarding File::Copy, and hashes that contain file paths

[Leetsauce]

How would I check to see if the file exists with this? So we have @f defined as the list of company numbers (C## - which represents company ID ) and for each of those, we're renaming the directory and moving it, but it breaks when it hits the key that does not exist in the folder (company 6 is not inside my zip, but it is a possible company that CAN be in the zip) so I'm looking for a quick way to check if the actual file, that corresponds with the key in our @f, even exists because if it doesn't, i need to skip it. I think this will involve next, or exists, or maybe both. Any insight?

see file exists test -e -X

foreach my $key (sort keys %compHash) {
   my $from = $src.$key;
   next unless (-e $from);
   .
   .

This is exactly what I needed. I ended up using:

my $base_path = 'e:/iwantfileshere';
dirmove($from,$to) if -e $base_path;

Thank you for your help!

I think you should use closer to the version I showed :P with -f and -d and maybe mix in -r but the functions should report that kind of problem if it arises. -e might mean a directory exists but it also could be a file or a link and probably more.
