in reply to readdir() only returns one result when used with Fatal.pm

Seems to be a bug in context evaluation in FATAL, this code works and throws an exception when readdir returns undef:

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Fatal qw(readdir); $| = 1; my $start_dir = '.'; opendir(my $dir, $start_dir); while($_= readdir($dir)) { print "$_ "; } closedir $dir;

Update 2006/04/28: This apparently isn't a bug in Fatal, but simply the fact that readdir can't be correctly "fatalized" 'cause it doesn't clearly indicates failure (and only failure) returning a false value. The documentation of Fatal will be updated to reflect better when to use it.
