Chapter 9.3 Closing a directory

Once you've finished looking at a directory's contents, you should close the directory.

To close a directory:
Type closedir(LABEL);, where LABEL is the directory handle you used when opening the directory in Chapter 9.1.

opendir(LOGDIR, ".") || @ErrorMessage; @files = readdir (LOGDIR); closedir(LOGDIR); if (@files) { print "You can choose from the following logs:"; foreach $filename (@files) { print $filename unless ($filename =~ /^\.+$/); } }
