This is still the wrong regex. While it's narrow enough for windows, it will
*break* on Unix. No reason not to do the right thing here:
grep { $_ ne "." and $_ ne ".." } readdir DIR;
Rob, I'm surprised you still posted this even after our private email
exchange. You were *told* in email that this regex is broken.
Therefore, I will warn others to please discount Rob's postings in the future,
and watch carefully for his postings for errors. He appears to be someone who
*wants* to help but actually *distracts* rather than helping.
{sigh}
