In an XS program it appears that it is slightly more complicated than this as the XSUB.h for perl 5.72 has :


   #    define opendir             PerlDir_open
[download]

having previously undefined opendir.

PerlDir_open itself is defined in iperlsys.h in 5.72 - this is so that it can be made to fit in with the whole PerlIO thing.

Probably the easiest way of finding out what is going on in here is to look at the implementation of pp_open_dir in pp_sys.c and then work backward from there.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
