( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Th phrase "won't work" or any varient there of conveys no information -- see on asking for help for more information on how to, well, ask for help. As it is, we can only guess at what "wont work."

The only guess I can come up with is that you're using unless where you want to use if. That is, if the filename they just uploaded is already in the list of user files, then we should give an error.

However, you're doing more work than you need to. It's a simple matter to ask if a file exists in a certain directory; just use the -e file test, as so:

if (-e "/var/www/virtual/merchandisemarket.net/m_images/$filename") { error(qq/You already uploaded a file named "$_!"/); }

..in place of the whole block of code you wrote above. Also note the use of the qq/.../ operator, so that one doens't need to have all that ugly escaping to put quotes in interpolated text.

perl -pe '"I lo*`+$^X$\"$]!$/"=~m%(.*)%s;$_=$1;y^`+*^e v^#$&V"+@( NO CARRIER'

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
