Re: Read Directory

-d BUS will not do what you think it does. It checks (in an arcane way) for a directory named "BUS", but in the current directory, not in the directory denoted by $path.

Maybe you simply want to use the full path directly?

    if( -d "$path/BUS" ) {
        ...
    }

Had I tested my assumption, I would have come to that same conclusion: `perl -we "print -d SCRIPTS" Name "main::SCRIPTS" used only once: possible typo at -e line 1. -d on unopened filehandle SCRIPTS at -e line 1. Use of uninitialized value in print at -e line 1.` [download] I thought the bareword would be treated as a string, but it gets treated as a filehandle. That's what I get for not using the old ways but lexical filehandles wherever I can `:)`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
