Hello,
This is my first post here.
I am trying to create a simple perl script to delete session files automatically using regex,
but my simple tiny regex won't find the file. The file is located in the same dir where the script
executes.

Script to find a file
#!"c:/perl/perl/bin/perl.exe"
# Script name = 

use warnings;
use diagnostics;
use strict;

my $file = qr/carlos\.txt/;


if (defined($file) && ($file =~ /carlos\.txt/)){

  print "file found";  

} else {

  print "file not found";

  }

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Carlos
