in reply to How to Determine If A File Is On NFS? Local? Etc?

Well, if you know what the path of the file is, you should be able to just do: 
if (-e $filepath) {
}

Filepaths have to be made with : instead of / on the Mac, though, so you'll need to do an OS test and a $filepath convert if you want this platform independent.

    FWIW, the old Mac OS (9.2.2 or earlier) used ':' as a path delimiter but in Perl on Mac OS X the '/' is used since the OS is based on BSD.
