Re: Execute a for loop in many subdirectories

You will need -d to test for directoryness. You can also use glob

while (defined(my $subdir = glob 'antarctica/*')) {
    next unless -d $subdir;
    chdir $subdir;
    for ...
    chdir '../..';
}

or opendir and readdir:

opendir my $D, 'antarctica' or die $!;
while (defined(my $dir = readdir $D)) {
    $dir = "antarctica/$dir";
    next unless -d $dir;
    chdir $dir;
    for ...
    chdir '..';

This looks like what I was trying to do... is there a distinct difference between these 2 approaches? Thank you!	[reply]

I am not sure. readdir might be better if there are millions of files in the `antarctica` directory, if I remember correctly. لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply] [d/l]
