Re^3: cant open files from a directory

I'd hardly consider one grep and one map to be "excessive grepping & mapping" nor something that one would need to "combat".

However, should you prefer the style you've posted, "-f $_" suffers from the problem already pointed out four times in this thread.

You could employ excessive usage of "$dir/$_", though. :-)

Blocks of grep & map were simple enough, which could have been combined simply, notwithstanding my lack of attention to ... Thanks for pointing out the bug the fifth time that I had missed in my zeal to curb the extravagance. I would rather have then `map { $f = "$dir/$_" ; -f $f ? ... } ...`, though some may find "$f" to be excessive. (By this time I would have busted out File::Find already to be honest.)	[reply] [d/l]
