in reply to Strawberry Perl on Windows 10 file test operators do not work as expected

perlport on -X doesn't mention -e. Maybe it's a fs permission or ACL issue. C:\Users doesn't seem like it's something a non-admin user would likely be allowed to putz around with.

    Hi perlfan, yes, you are correct, C:\Users is not a directory that one would normally want to meddle in, but it is not the real directory that is of relevance to my program in which I encountered these issues, it is just a sample directory name that I picked for purposes of this post only because of its short length. Thanks for your note.
