package DirHandle;
our $VERSION = '1.05';
=head1 NAME
DirHandle - (obsolete) supply object methods for directory handles
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# recommended approach since Perl 5.6: do not use DirHandle
if (opendir my $d, '.') {
while (readdir $d) { something($_); }
rewind $d;
while (readdir $d) { something_else($_); }
}
# how you would use this module if you were going to
use DirHandle;
if (my $d = DirHandle->new(".")) {
while (defined($_ = $d->read)) { something($_); }
$d->rewind;
while (defined($_ = $d->read)) { something_else($_); }
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
B<There is no reason to use this module nowadays.>
The C<DirHandle> method provide an alternative interface to the
opendir(), closedir(), readdir(), and rewinddir() functions.
Up to Perl 5.5, opendir() could not autovivify a directory handle from
C<undef>, so using a lexical handle required using a function from L<Symbol>
to create an anonymous glob, which took a separate step.
C<DirHandle> encapsulates this, which allowed cleaner code than opendir().
Since Perl 5.6, opendir() alone has been all you need for lexical handles.
