DirHandle(3)
NAME
  DirHandle - supply object methods for directory handles

SYNOPSIS
      use DirHandle;
      $d = new DirHandle ".";
      if (defined $d) {
	  while (defined($_ = $d->read)) { something($_); }
	  $d->rewind;
	  while (defined($_ = $d->read)) { something_else($_); }
	  undef $d;
      }

DESCRIPTION
  The "DirHandle" method provide an alternative interface to the opendir(),
  closedir(), readdir(), and rewinddir() functions.

  The only objective benefit to using "DirHandle" is that it avoids namespace
  pollution by creating globs to hold directory handles.
