I've made the change to the code.. Here it is: 
 
foreach (@test_node_list) {
    if (-e "/usr/adm/best1_default/collect/$_/noInstance") { # It prob
+ably is a node with data
        if (-e "/usr/adm/best1_default/manager/$_") {        # It has 
+a vis files directory
            push @node_list, $_;
            if (-e "/usr/adm/best1_default/manager/$_/$vis_year$vis_mo
+nth$vis_zero$vis_day*.vis") {
                print;
        }
     }
}

This doesn't generate anything. I realize the filename looks odd but when I check them from the cmdline, it works as expected. I'm trying to say, "If this node has a file called X, then do something. Right now, I just have a print statement there. Eventually, I really want to put a system() instead.
