&lt;P&gt;
Sets the current position for the [perlfunc:readdir|readdir()] routine on 
&lt;FONT SIZE=-1&gt;DIRHANDLE.&lt;/FONT&gt; 
&lt;FONT SIZE=-1&gt;POS&lt;/FONT&gt; must be a value returned by
 [perlfunc:telldir|telldir()]. Has the same caveats about possible directory compaction as the
corresponding system library routine.
