My Perl in a nutshell book tells me everythin I want to know but the syntax.
-z operator to determine if size is zero.
-s will return the file size.
No examples are shown. I tried a couple of ways like
if( -z /home/dbartley/file ){ do stuff here }
$var = -s /home/dbartley/file;
but it always errors out. Anyone familiar with this.
