Subject: HowTo get ruby to report a sumbolic link?

I am creating a series of symbolic links to target directories.  I wish
to check to see if the symbolic link exists or not.  When I do this
(using rspec):

File.stat(@soft_link_target).ftype.should == 'link'

I get this:

      expected: "link",
           got: "directory" (using ==)

Which tells me that the link is there but it is reporting the target
directory and not the link itself.  How do I tell if the thing that I am
checking is a symbolic link to a directory and not the directory itself?
