Re: readdir fails?

[webadept]

My understanding (limited as it is) says that readdir is like reading and array and you need a loop in there to get anything past the . or .. or anything else. Try something like this.

opendir(DIR, $dirname) || die "Horrible Death";
while(defined($file=readdir(DIR))
  {
    print $file, "\n";
  }
closedir(DIR);

This gets you through all the files in the directory.

Hope that helps out.
