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.

Deprecated or not, personally I always use opendir() and readdir().

    opendir my $dir, $path_to_directory or die $!;
    print "$_\n" for grep !/^\./, readdir $dir;
    closedir $dir;

It always 'works', and it's portable.
