Leetsauce,

You can test for file or directory by: 

     if ( -f $file ) { .... }     ## $file is a file
     elsif  ( -d $file ) { ... }  ## also could use '_' for speed
     else { ,,, }                 ## Not what we're looking for

Also you may wish to look at 'glob' for getting information about directory contents ( files and/or directories ).

Good Luck...Ed
