file test operator -d in wf template

mick

i'm trying to test if a file is a directory using the following bit of perl within my workflow template:

if (-d $abs_filepath) {
do_something();
} else {
do_anotherthing();
}

even if i hardcode the variable $abs_filepath to something i know is a directory, this doesn't work!
but, it works fine if run from the commandline.

is there something about workflow that would cause the -d file test not to work?

we're running TS 5.0.2 under Solaris 8

There should be no difference.

Its all perl in the end of the day.

What can be different are things such as environment variables.

Post the troublesome code if you would like someone to look at it
