If so, how often, relative to the times when you do?
While I share your pain (and frequently stumb my toe on
this behavior), I think this idiom will help
you. Use the chdir() function to get to the desired directory,
then read away. That way, your can use the result of readdir
directly.
use CWD;
my $org_dir = cwd;
chdir($desired_dir) || die "can't cd: $!";
opendir(DIR, $desired_dir) || die "can't opendir: $!";
while(my $file = readdir DIR){
next if -d $file;
# preform operations below on $file
}
closedir DIR;
chdir($org_dir) || die "can't get back to $org_dir: $!";

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).
