Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Wise Elders, I am but a serf on the monastery.. Wine pressing available by request. When I read a directory contents into an array, and test the elements to find directories, it does not return directory values unless the path I am reading from is the local (.) directory. WhatUp with that? If I remove the test, the correct contents are returned, the test just seems to fail.
#!/usr/bin/perl $path="."; opendir (DIR, $path) or die "could not open directory"; @files = readdir(DIR); foreach (@files) { print "$_ \n" if (-d $_) ; }
