It will always give you a glob memory address #!/usr/bin/perl --
use Data::Dumper;
use strict;
use warnings;
opendir my $dh, "doesnotexist.mustnotexist";
print Dumper( $dh);
__END__
$VAR1 = \*{'::$dh'};

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use Data::Dumper;
use strict;
use warnings;
for my $dir( "doesnotexist.mustnotexist", "."){
opendir my $dh, $dir;
Parentheses missing around "my" list at - line 7.
print "dir $dir ", Dumper( $dh);
}
__END__
dir doesnotexist.mustnotexist $VAR1 = \*{'::$dh'};
dir . $VAR1 = \*{'::$dh'};

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
