Deprecated or not, personally I always use opendir() and readdir(). opendir my $dir, $path_to_directory or die $!; print "$_\n" for grep !/^\./, readdir $dir; closedir $dir; It always 'works', and it's portable. -- Gunnar Hjalmarsson Email: http://www.gunnar.cc/cgi-bin/contact.plThread Previous | Thread Next
