I have the following bit of code 

open TEST,$path."\\".$item && 
do{-d TEST ? fillQueryBox($path."\\".$item,$qBox) : $cBox->insert('end
+',$item);
close TEST;   
last CLICK_OPTION;};

[download]
This code is for handling double clicks on a Tk-Listbox. Which should attempt to open a file/dir, and then when it is open check to see if it is a directory. If the selected listbox item is a directory it should call fillQueryBox(), if its not it should simply insert the item selected into another Tk-Listbox

the error I am getting is -d on closed filehandle TEST at C:/Perl/lib/list_maker.pl line l47 It was my understanding that a file open returned true on success... so it would pass the && and fall into the do{} block, implying the file or directory was open for me to call a -d <HANDLE> on.

WHAT AM I MISSING?...pardon the frustration.
