Need Help??

You did not demonstrate a bug since you're clearly misusing seekdir according to the very documentation to which you linked:

seekdir DIRHANDLE,POS sets the current position for the readdir routine on DIRHANDLE. POS must be a value returned by telldir.

Thanks, I should have known better (I even thought, sure, I'm the first to discover this bug since 1987) It appears seekdir/telldir returns length + 1 Happy holidays	[reply]

I see now where I was confused, I was thinking in terms of readline, IO::Dir/FIRSTKEY/NEXTKEY, and I confused seek for being line-oriented All this, and I'm not tired or under the influence, go figure :)	[reply]
