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.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
