Code:
#open report.txt so text can be appended to the end of it
open (RPT, ">>reports/report.txt") || Error('open', 'file');

#check if the files exist or not
if ((-e "files/file1.ini") && (-e "files/file2.ini")) {
 print RPT "Files present.\n";
} else {
 print RPT "Files not present.\n";
}

#close report.txt
close (RPT) || Error('close', 'file');

#if report.txt cannot be opened, this subroutine will execute
sub Error {
 print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
 print "The server can't $_[0] the $_[1] : $! \n";
 exit;
}
