I currently am using the line 

my @dirs = grep { -d "$base/$_" and $_ ne "." and $_ ne ".." } readdir
+(DIR);

[download]
to build a list of dirs from the return of readdir. What I now wish to do is build a second list of just the files from the same readdir list. In keeping with Swartzian principle, what I want to write is something like: 

my (@dirs,@files) = grep 
   { -d "$base/$_" and $_ ne "." and $_ ne ".." }
   { -f "$base/$_" } 
   readdir(DIR);

I realise that I can do: 

my @all = readdir(DIR);
my @dirs = grep 
   {-d "$base/£_" and $ne "." and $_ ne ".." } @all;
my @files = grep 
   {-f "$base/£_" } @all;

But my instinct say (probably wrongly) that this can be done without the need to name @all? Thanks.
