I'm using readdir to extract the listings of the files in a directory. I would like to take the values returned and push them onto an array. Currently the code looks like--
while ( $standir = readdir( DIR ) ) {
       $type = ( -d "$path\\$standir" ) ? "dir" : "file";
       if ($standir =~ m/^\./) {
         $standir = '';
       } else {
          $standir = "$standir" ."\n";
          push(@standir,$standir);
       }
   }

When I test the code (attempt to pop and print the contents of the array), there is nothing there. What am I missing?
Many thanks to the community.
