Hi Monks, I got a follow up question. Is it possible to use the same command to check if file exists in two or more different directorites? `for my $file (@set_of_files) { $ftp->get ($file) unless -e /dir1/$file; }` [download] so basically to check: `unless -e /dir1/$file unless -e /dir2/$file` [download] something like that? Thanks again.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

It works. Guess I tend to overthink and overcomplicate simple things.:) Thanks again!	[reply]
