in thread Net::FTP - Check if file already exists locally before download

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; }

so basically to check:

unless -e /dir1/$file unless -e /dir2/$file

something like that?

Thanks again.

    for my $file (@set_of_files) { $ftp->get ($file) unless (-e "/dir1/$file" or -e "/dir2/$file"); }

      It works.

      Guess I tend to overthink and overcomplicate simple things.:)

      Thanks again!
