NAME¶
DirHandle - supply object methods for directory handles
SYNOPSIS¶
use DirHandle;
$d = DirHandle->new(".");
if (defined $d) {
while (defined($_ = $d->read)) { something($_); }
$d->rewind;
while (defined($_ = $d->read)) { something_else($_); }
undef $d;
}
DESCRIPTION¶
The "DirHandle" method provide an alternative interface to the
opendir(),
closedir(),
readdir(), and
rewinddir()
functions.
The only objective benefit to using "DirHandle" is that it avoids
namespace pollution by creating globs to hold directory handles.
