in thread Check multiple file names exist in directory and create another trigger file after existing files processed
What I've done that covers many of my use cases, is:
Sometimes the verification is a check to see if the file has grown larger; if so, then it goes back to sleep repeatedly until the download/copy is finished.
For checking the names, you may want to use a regex to capture the relevant part of the filename, and then look for specifically named files using that.
For example,
if ($file =~ /alphat_(.*)\.zip) { my $key = $1; # whatever was between alphat_ and the .zip bits. if (-f "numerict_${key}.zip && -f "updatet_${key}.zip") { print "Caught 'em all!\n"; } }
