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.

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).
