Why does anyone ever use opendir and readdir? Why aren't they deprecated and removed?
Anyone out there using Perl on Windows? Does glob work there?Yes, it does.

glob is nice and easy. I think the only time I end up using readdir is when I want to be specific about what I'm globbing, in which case I mix it with grep.
Why use readdir? Why not just grep your glob? j (Please don't tell my mother I suggested you grep your glob. -grin-)
