Could someone please direct me to some web pages where I can go through all deprecated perl functions and/or ways of writing perl script? It is not easy for me to figure out whether an on-line example is deprecated or not. I once saw:

@files = <$path_to_directory>

on the web and found it worked perfectly, then kept using this way of writing my perl script. But I was told yesterday such a script is deprecated now.

AFAIK that is not deprecated.

Can you explain how it works?

I have tried the script below, and of course it doesn't print anything:

use strict;

my $path_to_directory = '/';

my @files = <$path_to_directory>;

foreach my $file(@files) {
print "$file\n";
}

Thanks.
