Hi all

Fatal.pm and readdir() do not play well together. Run the following script in a directory containing several files. It only prints out '.'. Then comment out the 'use Fatal' line and run the script again. It now prints out all the files in the directory. 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Fatal qw(readdir);

my $start_dir = '.';
opendir(my $dir, $start_dir);
my @subdir = readdir $dir;
closedir $dir;
print "@subdir\n";

In reply to readdir() only returns one result when used with Fatal.pm by jesuashok
