in thread Problem with POE-Component-DirWatch
Actually talking un*x, if you open a file, do stuff and at
some point rewind it, i would not like the system to close
and reopen the descriptor for me; they are many reasons: many passes onthe same file, descriptor sharing with children...etc
I would expect the same behaviour for dir handles;
this means rewinding makes you look at the same structure
again...
% perldoc -f rewinddir
rewinddir DIRHANDLE
Sets the current position to the beginning of the directory for the "readdir" routine on DIRHANDLE.
it does not say the handle is closed and then reopened...
actually a poor man's rewinddir will do just that...
from what you say it seems this time that it is perl on unix
that does it wrong (poorly)...this should be filed as a bug
