in reply to UNC File Tests

Works for me
>perl -wle"print -e '\\\\tribble\\c$\\bin' ?1:0" 1 >perl -wle"print -e '\\\\tribble\\c$\\bla' ?1:0" 0 >perl -wle"print -e '\\\\baragon\\c$\\bin' ?1:0" 1 >perl -wle"print -e '\\\\baragon\\c$\\bla' ?1:0" 0

Mind you, the code you posted gives syntax errors.

>perl -e"-e \\\\server\\dir1\\dir2" Backslash found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "server\" Backslash found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "dir1\" syntax error at -e line 1, near "server\" Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

That's not what you meant, right?

    DOH! stupid mistake. I had an extraneous space on the end of the path I was testing with. Yes, indeed the file tests work on a UNC path. (so embarrassing...)
