It's an operator precedence issue. Try:

perl -e 'open TEST,"." and do {( -d TEST )?print "1$/": print "0$/";}'

Thanks you all. That took care of it. I never would have came up w/ that on my own. Haven't ever ran into precedence issues in Perl... which probably means I just haven't done enough perl or haven't tried to code enough good Perl :) Thanks again! Grygonos	[reply]
