This is a bug report for perl from toddr@cpan.org,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.41 running under perl 5.28.0.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]

We've been experimenting with virtualizing directory interaction in
Test::MockFile by overriding Core::GLOBAL::readdir.

I got a report about a problem with implcit assignment to $_ not working
via https://github.com/CpanelInc/Test-MockFile/issues/32

To try to clarify the problem we came up with this perl script.

---
use strict;
use warnings;

BEGIN { *CORE::GLOBAL::readdir = sub { $_[0] } }

print "*** readdir assigns to \$_ implicitly\n";
while (readdir 'foo') {
    print;
    last;
}

print "*** readdir undef\n";
while (readdir undef) { # doesn't implicitly check defined()
    print;
    last;
}

print "*** \$_ = readdir 'foo'\n";
while ($_ = readdir 'foo') {
    print;
    last;
}
---

I would have expected foo 2 times but instead I got this. The uninitialized
check should't have happened either.

*** readdir assigns to $_ implicitly
Use of uninitialized value $_ in print at projects/Test-MockFile/foo.pl
line 8.
*** readdir undef
*** $_ = readdir 'foo'
