Hi kevind0718,

And now that you've got your solution, here's a way to prevent it (or similar) from happening again:

my $outFileDirectory = "./bin";
                                                                      
+          
if (-d @outFileDirectory ) {
    print "There is a directory --> " .  $outFileDirectory . "\n" ;
}
else {
    print "There is a no such directory --> " .  $outFileDirectory . "
+\n"  ;
}
[download]

seems to fail cryptically, as you've observed:

There is a no such directory --> ./bin
[download]

But if you use strict and warnings:

use strict;
use warnings;
                                                                      
+          
my $outFileDirectory = "./bin";
                                                                      
+          
if (-d @outFileDirectory ) {
    print "There is a directory --> " .  $outFileDirectory . "\n" ;
}
else {
    print "There is a no such directory --> " .  $outFileDirectory . "
+\n"  ;
}
[download]

The path to enlightenment is made shorter:

Global symbol "@outFileDirectory" requires explicit package name at x.
+pl line 7.
Execution of x.pl aborted due to compilation errors.
