looping questions

Hello,

this is not a perl problem (maybe it is). The function does work, but
gave me error . there are 4 files into the traffic directory, the loop
goes into 24 possiblility, copies the four files and gives me 20
errors. I decided to add an IF statement to only copy if the file
exists. what is wrong with my IF loop ?
thanks

Ken



for my $hours ('00'..'23') {

$file23 = glob("$timestamp2$hours*") ;
print "$timestamp2: " ,$timestamp2, "\n";
print "file23: " ,$file23, "\n";
if ($file23 == 1){
system(`cp /input/fttr/traffic/$file23 /input/$Out_directory `);
}

$hours++;
}

.
