Well, yes, the '\' didn't help, but leaving it blank in the Windows world wasn't helping either; the string wouldn't hang together as a single argument and so I needed to find some kind of glue to submit the file name in toto to the -f test. Perhaps it's overkill, but the current solution of using globbing with a slice does what I want. :-)	[reply]

Like I said originally, no glue necessary, just: `# From DB $template_file = "C:/Program Files/DirDictate/soap_form/soap_final.dot +"; unless ( -f $template_file ) { ... }` [download] If you got that from the command line, still no glue necessary: `# Called as: # perl script.pl "C:/Program Files/DirDictate/soap_form/soap_final.d +ot" $template_file = $ARGV[0]; unless ( -f $template_file ) { ... }` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
