Check if directory exists on a remote computer

I'm working on a perl script on a UNIX computer and I'd like to check if a directory exists on a different UNIX computer on the network. Any recommendations?

Thanks.

You give little information, but I'd a look at Net::FTP and or Net::SSH/Net::SFTP if I were you. These modules will allow you to log in to the other machine, and thus you can check wheter a dir. exist. HTH -- b10m	[reply]
