I currently am using the line
my @dirs = grep { -d "$base/$_" and $_ ne "." and $_ ne ".." } readdir
+(DIR);
to build a list of dirs from the return of readdir. What I now wish to do is build a second list of just the files from the same readdir list. In keeping with Swartzian principle, what I want to write is something like:
my (@dirs,@files) = grep
{ -d "$base/$_" and $_ ne "." and $_ ne ".." }
{ -f "$base/$_" }
readdir(DIR);
I realise that I can do:
my @all = readdir(DIR);
my @dirs = grep
{-d "$base/£_" and $ne "." and $_ ne ".." } @all;
my @files = grep
{-f "$base/£_" } @all;
But my instinct say (probably wrongly) that this can be done without the need to name @all?
Thanks.

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).
