in reply to opendir a directory abstraction?

There is Filesys::Virtual (and its subclasses), but I think not even that supports readdir on itself.

I'm not sure a string would be a good approach as an API. I would expect more something like a tied FH, calling various methods on the tied object to return directory entries. But so far, I have not seen a good abstraction for filesystems.

    does it implement anything? I looked into the code b/c of missing documentation and all subs look like this

    sub login {
        my ($self, $username, $password) = @_;
         
        carp ref($self)."::login() Unimplemented";
         
        return 0;
}
