yes (-e $varname) will do the test

> perl 5.6.1-3 appears to be returning true when $varname is blank.  I get this theory because in verbose mode:

must return and always returns false when $var is undef (worksforme perl 5.6.1)

you can rewrite in a more syntethic way by
complex_doit("cat $substvars >> debian/${ext}substvars.debhelper") if (-e $substvars);
or 
(-e $substvars) && complex_doit("cat $substvars >> debian/${ext}substvars.debhelper");
