Hi all,
Kindly look at the code below: use warnings; use strict; opendir(DIR, "D:\\test") || die "can't opendir: $!"; my @dots = readdir(DIR); print map{"$_.\n"}...@dots; .. ... Test1 Test2 Test3 Where Test1, Test2, Test3 are files within test directory. Apart from that I also got dots (2 in 1st line & 3 in 2nd line). I know that '..' stands for parent directory what does '...' mean? In perldoc of readdir() I am unable to follow below line. Can anyone explain me the below line with example? 'If you're planning to filetest the return values out of a readdir <http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/readdir.html> , you'd better prepend the directory in question. Otherwise, because we didn't chdir <http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/chdir.html> there, it would have been testing the wrong file.'
