Hi all, I'm new to Perl so therefore I'm struggling a bit in some areas... I would like to encapsulate the follwoing if check in a function with call parameters 
if(-e,-w "c:\\myfile.txt") {
    print"File exists";
}

Here now the function with function call and the two parameters the operator -e,-w and the filename. Basically this should work, but somehow when i try to compare this two arguments the interpreter reports a error. I tried to use eval to evaluate the variable $_[0] firs befor I using this in the if condition. Any ideas? 
checkit("-e,-w", "c:\\myfile.txt");

checkit {
    if($_[0] && $_[1]) {
        if($_[0] $_[1]) { #Here exists the Problem the interpreter alw
+ays displays me an error message
            print"File exists";            
        }
        else {
            print"File doesnt exist";
        }
    }
}
