oddly- the grep documentation in perldoc doesn't even mention filehandles. readdir does show proper use though-
readdir does not use a filehandle and therefore does not show the proper use of them. The opendir/readdir/rewinddir/seekdir/telldir/closedir functions all use directory handles and only directory handles.
