If value is NULL then quit?	Can't Post

I am creating a script that will monitor directories for specific files and email the contents.
That part is working great but how do I tell the script to quit if the array is empty?

my @files = grep ( -f ,<*.txt>);
# Write them out
foreach $file (@files) {
print "$file\n";
}

I dont want to repeatedly recieve email with:

$VAR1 = {};

Code

my @files = grep ( -f ,<*.txt>) or exit;

And this gives the same results:

Code

my @files = <*.txt> or exit;

Don't need to grep for whether it's a file...
