in reply to Quickest way to get a list of all folders in a directory

All of the responses to the OP's inquiry are excellent and I've learned a lot about some of more subtle capabilities and actions of Perl.

One curious thing in the OP's post: The OP use an open() rather than and opendir(). I thought you had to do an opendir() to be able to use readdir(). Am I mistaken?

    You are correct. Read the links that ikegami mentioned.
