So this is the code I have: 
print "# File is located at: $myAbsPathToFile\n" if (-e $myAbsPathToFi
+le);

if (-s $myAbsPathToFile) {
    print "Good to go\n";
} else {
    print "# File $myAbsPathToFile is empty or missing: $!. Cannot con
+tinue!\n";
    exit;
}

And its output: 
# File is located at: /nfs/home/frogsausage/file
# File /nfs/home/frogsausage/file is empty or missing: No such file or
+ directory. Cannot continue!

Note how awkward it is: first test is saying "Can find it, it exists!", and the second says "Nope, no such file or directory". These lines are like that in the final code: no statements in between and it isn't part of a loop or anything like that.

Edit: @hdb Indeed! I corrected typo after edit. I converted full path to variable again hence why. Thanks for the head up. Output is still the same after the typo edit.
